Sorry didnt really explain whats going on, i am going to court and dont know wether to plead guilty or not guilty !!!

With a reading of 82 in blood you will be liable for a disqualification of 12 - 16 months and a fine. The Court should offer you a drink driving rehabilitation course, the successful completion of which will result in your disqualification being reduced by up to 25%.

How much alcohol did you consume the previous evening? At what time did you stop drinking? Did you have your own part of the specimen analysed?

It may be possible to defend your case. Therefore it would be wise to seek specialist advice before making a decision on plea. If you would like to discuss your case with one of our lawyers please call 0845 002 0736.

Hi thanks for the reply.. i dont know how much i consumed.. But i fell asleep or passed out on the floor downstairs.. stopped drinking about half 1-2 in the morning. never really drink as much as i used to now because of my son bieng in my life now.. so dont know if it affects me more.. i had alot of spirits.. i think i had 1 bottle of southern comfort to myself for the whole night.. then all the inbetween drinks.. i was supposed to go out the nx evening but didnt feel good and didnt want to drink another night in a row.. so my partner went out.. and asked to be picked up at 2 at the club.. when the time got round i felt perfectly fine. i did recive my own specimen of blood but didnt get it tested because i kinda trusted the police, really wish i did send it away now.. in my case.. i really didnt know the alcohol would and could still be in my system after that amount of time.. before i set off to get my partner.. i just popped outside for a smoke and had a walk around my garden just to see if i had any drowzyness or felt like i couldnt drive. im going to be so upset if and when this goes in the paper.. for my sons sake. because i dont want people thinking i was "Drunk" and driving... because i was in no such way drunk. i just still had traces of alcohol in my system.. i dont get it.. people can smoke weed.. get pulled over.. and wont loose there licence or anything. ive never had an accident.. or had points on my licence.. never been done by the police before. never been to court maybe im just scared of bieng branded a "drink driver" i know my self i would harm my son in anyway or put him in harms way! worst thing is when the police breathalyzed me. i was 100% sure i would pass and could just go pick my partner up and come home. But that was not the case...
