Hi,
In the early hours of Tuesday morning (3am) my 18 year old son and his friend decided it would be a good idea to take a golf buggy from the local golf club and drive it to a Mcdonalds drive through approximately 4 miles away on public roads.
He was subsequently arrested and was found to be one and a half times over the limit (limit is 35 he was 50).
He now has a court date on 19[SUP]th[/SUP] June, where he is charged with driving a mechanically propelled vehicle (petrol powered golf buggy) whilst unfit to drive through drink. Obviously he is guilty but what sort of punishment can he expect to receive.
He only passed his driving test in March 2018 and as he does not have a car he hasn’t even driven a car since. What he did was very out of character and he has absolutely no previous convictions unfortunately he made a very stupid and potentially dangerous error of judgement.
