I’m posting on behalf of a friend.
Last Saturday morning, he drove his car after drinking the night before.
At about 10am he was involved in a one car accident outside a busy Spar shop which is also on a residential estate.
He was distracted, hit a kerb and rolled his vehicle onto its roof. Thankfully, he was unhurt.
No other vehicles or people were injured although the road was shut for an hour.
However, he was arrested and charged with driving while above the legal alcohol limit.
His car is a right-off and he has been suspended by his employers.
In 2004, he was convicted of drink-driving and banned for 18 months.
I don’t know how far he was over the limit last weekend.
What can he expect at sentencing and will the mitigating factors of the time, location etc make any difference?
Thanks for your help.
