I was driving and whilst pulling away from a T-junction I hit (though very minerly) a police officer who was stood by the side of the road wearing all black. After I hit him I was breathalysed and was found to be 84mgs over the limit. I was taken to the police station and was detained for 8 hours and then released and now I have been told to appear in a magistrates on Tuesday. I am unable to get a lawyer due to limited finances and I have no idea what to say in court. I have been told I will get anywhere between 17-22 months without a licence. Will I get prison time for this? I am unsure if this matters but I am suffering from stress and anxiety as well as a 'significant depressive episode'. What should I say? I have 2 children who rely on me to get them to school and would like to get my driving restriction limited, would I be able to do community service to limit this? Thankyou
