Dear Sir/Madam,
After drinking 4 small guinness and 2 bottles of beer during the previous evening, unfortunately I wasn't aware that the legal effects could still be with me when I picked up my autistic son from work at 07.00 the following morning.
I hit a huge pothole (one of many in our village) damaging the 2 front tyres but managed to drive the car the short distance to home even though I was extremely traumatized.
However, around 15 minutes later the Police called and requested a breath test which I readily gave and was shocked to hear that not only was this positive but an incredible 83 - apparently extremely over the limit?!? When I later expressed my astonishment a lady Police Sergeant suggested that, "It may have been my medication mixed with the alcohol" ......which produced such a wholly unexpected, shocking result. Incidentally, on one of the subsequent tests the machine appeared to malfunction.
I was eventually released at (18.42??) having been arrested around some 11 hours earlier and taken away from my 2 autistic children without the slightest regard for their welfare (or lack of!) plus my medication situation. The fact that I'm claustrophobic didn't stop them throwing me into a horrible cell leaving me to kick the living daylights out of the offending door to get them to pay even some tiny amount of attention to my traumatic state!! Beforehand, I'd apparently declined the offer of a solicitor - presumably because all I was concerned about was getting home to my (forcibly abandoned!) children!!
If you believe you may be able to help me, I would be extremely grateful,
Most Sincerely,
Lorraine Wright
