Hi, on Monday 22nd December 2008 I called to the pub after work at 4pm, and had three pints of lager. I left the pub at 6pm and was immediately followed by a police motorbike. Approximately half a mile down the road he put on his blue flashing lights and I pulled over.
He asked if i had been drinking and i replied that i had just had three pints, literally minutes ago. He called for an un-marked police car, and I was asked to give a sample of breath in the back of the car. To my astonishment I blew 95mg in the back of his car. I was arrested and immediately taken to the local police station, where i gave two more samples of breath, the first was 48mg and the second 49.
I was then offered a blood test which i gladly accepted. I was bailed from the police station, after only 1hr! and told to return on the 10th February 2009. All through this incident I felt completely sober at all times.
When I returned to the police station on the 10th February 2009, i was arrested and told my blood level had come back at 106ml.
I have now been bailed to appear at the magistrates court on the 11th March 2009. I intend to plead guilty straight away and get dealt with on the day if possible.
I currently have 6 points on my licence for two sp30's and i was convicted of drink driving when i was 17 in 1983.
Will the previous DD offence be mentioned in court, as it is now almost 26 years ago?
Will the current points have an effect on the length of ban?
What length of ban should I expect?
Do i need to get a solicitor?
Thank You.
Will I be offered the rehabilitation course?
