Hello, I was arrested at 10 pm last night, had a breath level of 57 at the station and appear before magistrates in three weeks. My query is with regard to the initial contact with the police. I was driving and pulled into a layby to adjust my iPod which was wired into the cars cassette deck. A large van pulled up beside me and remained stationary, I got out of my car to see what the driver wanted and then realised it was a police vehicle so I asked what was up and the proceedings started from there.
I am guessing the police followed me into the layby, they said the reasoon was due to one of my taillights being out.
Given they did not actually stop my vehicle with blue lights et.c is it worthwhile telling the magistrates I was stationary with the engine off and indeed outside the vehicle before I was aware of the police presence?
As the breath level is over the limit should I just plead guilty and forget about driving for a year or so?
