I have been charged with being in charge of motor vehicle with excess alcohol of 64mg.
I have been to magistrates court and plead not guilty, going for trial at another magistrates in a few weeks.
Me and my friend were drinking. I was parked up in a car park which is free at night time. I realised i would not be able to drive so i told my friend who was sitting in the passenger seat to get up and well walk home ( he began to disconnect the car stereo and get some change out for food ), i could come back before the parking wardens come and pick up the vehicle in the morning. Whilst i was outside the vehicle the police turned up. I gave incorrect details as i had got scared and panicked. I was then arrested.
At magistrates for the initial plea the prosecution said that the passenger was in the passenger seat whilst i was outside the vehicle and that shows that i had the intention to drive. This was the reason she gave not to stop proceeding and drop the case.
Any advice? Much appreciated.
