A person was caught drink driving after a party.
His specimen reading was 125mg.
He showed remorse immediately after being arrested and was co-operative with the police.
However, he was convicted of DD 6 years ago when he was banned for 1 year and fined 400 pounds with a reading of 60mg. And again that was after a party.
Otherwise he is a good character with a clean driving licence.
He has two children and his wife does not work, who is currently suffering from nervous exhaustion.
In the pre-sentence report, it was decided that probation was not an option for him.
Given the facts above, normally, what shall be his penalty? Can he avoid a custodial sentence? Are there enough mitigating factors that I can use to reduce his punishment?
