Hi,
I stupidly was charged with drink driving following a crash on Sunday morning blowing 84 at the station. I was at a party and my partners father had had too much to drink and was vommiting and unable to stand, the cab office said the cab was to be at least an hour so i jumped in a cab that was going in the right direction and got my car to pick up my partner had her parents. I missed the turning and did a u turn and upon driving back came off the road on a tight sweeping bend and flipped the car. Luckily no body was injured and I was the only person in the car. I am obviously guilty of the offence, but am looking for some general advice. Although not mentioned at the time research after the incident shows that the street light on the bend is currently broken, alongside there being no sign to suggest that there is a bend approaching, is this something to bring up on my court date would you suggest? Also do i qualify for legal aid as i am a full time student and should i get representation for the court case.
Kind regards
