Hi there,
I had a collision with a mini a week ago and when the police arrived blew 97 at 5am in the morning. I stupidly woke up early from being out the night before and just needed to move my car from a permit area.
Unfortunately I took a corner too wide on a one way street and hit the corner of another car. I am due at court next week and a solicitor has advised me that I would receive up to a 23 month ban, a fine and a community order.
He said the only thing he could probably do is reduce or eliminate any community service but will charge over £400 and it is no guarantee. Just wondering whether you think I should represent myself instead? I'm a school teacher working full time so will have burner pus character references ready. Any help would be great thank you.
