untrue

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'incorrect' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'u-turn in the wrong lane ultimately' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'u' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'turn' is 'ntru' which is located in the answer.
A single letter 'e' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
