Was sentenced at court today.
Excess whilst in charge, no aggrivating factors other than swerving on road.
Blew 96mcg
Was sentenced to:
24 month driving ban
1 year community payback order (1 year social work supervision)
Unfortunately in court there was no mention of the DD course to help reduce the ban, I wanted to ask but was a bit afraid to butt in
on the proceedings. I did ask for it in my letter of apology at first hearing, but there was no mention of it at all so they maybe weren't aware.
When I went to the social work office after court, the woman seemed to reckon they could ask the court to refer me onto a course,
But I didn't seem to think this would be possible, have this ever been heard of??
Or could I phone the court first thing to ask if this was considered or added to my sentence
Or am I basically donald ducked?
Bit gutted as there doesnt seem to be consistencies from court to court, that said I'm no detracting from
my appalling offence, would just have been positive to have something to aim at, and thought I would have been offered as a first offender
but the process just went past so quick, and now I'm deflated that the chance has maybe gone??
Thanks for any advice.
