Hi. I could really use some advice.
I'm typing up two versions, one formal one for the mag to read and one written in a way in which I will read out, i'll only use one depending on how I feel on the day.
I'm struggling with what to include, for migitation i've included:
Clean licence/No convictions
Potential loss of university offer
No public transport in village, relying on parents for transport
Short duration of driving (I checked my dashcam, I was only driving about 40 seconds and travelled about 1/4 mile)
I've not included cooperation with the police yet, should I?
Also online it says to explain why and how the offence happened. I don't know how to go about that without possibly making myself look much worse.
original story:
On Good Friday I drove 40 miles to meet a woman I had been speaking to on a dating site. I got to hers and we had some drinks through the night. At some point around 12 midnight we had a big falling out and she kicked me out the house. In the process she called the police who arrived as I had already left.
Nothing came of that but they warned me not to drive and to sleep in the back of the car if I had to.
They left and I returned to the house to try and convince her to let me stay, she denied and at 4:10am I started driving, got down then road and was arrested and taken to the station where 73 was blown on the machine.
I only had a shirt and jeans with me and felt too cold to sleep in the car. I was also in an unknown area so I had nowhere to go and didn't know anyone who could help at 4am.
I use my car to attend a college course which has no bus routes. I am doing really well on it and will be going to university in September but leaving the car at home. I have no other convictions.
