Emma,
At that level of alcohol you are certainly at risk of an immediate custodial sentence. The guidelines that the court use (which are available elsewhere on this site) say that a prison sentence of up to 6 months should be considered when alcohol levels in breath reach 120 mg. Your Reading exceeds this threshold by some margin.
Having said that we have successfully avoided prison sentences for lots of clients in the past with alcohol levels higher than yours. It is entirely possible that the court will be prepared to suspend any prison sentence or give you a community sentence instead but this depends on how your case is presented.
We have years of experience specialising in the representation of clients facing drink driving and other road traffic offences all over the country. We can look at the evidence for you, give you realistic advice about any potential ways the case could be defended and prepare your mitigation before the court hearing to, hopefully, help you to avoid a prison sentence and receive the most lenient punishment and shortest length of ban possible in the circumstances. If you are interested in a free telephone consultation to discuss your case in more detail then call our helpline on 08450020736 and we will be happy to help.
