Hi
I have recently been arrested for drinking driving, but having blown 50 at the station I opted to go for the blood test. I am fully expecting these to return as confirming excess alcohol.
My question is this all came about as I crashed my car; nothing massively severe, I put it into the curb on a fairly sharp bend in the road. No one else was involved, there was no damage to any other property - not even the curb - with the exception of my own car which was rendered immobile and the police had to arrange the recovery. It didnt flip or spin or anything, there was not even any bodywork damage to the car, the car was still running, I literally just slapped the curb and put the front nearside wheel under meaning it wouldnt physically roll.
Will the fact that I've been caught because I had the accident and rendered my own car undrivable leave me in a worse position when it comes to sentancing than, say, someone who had just been pulled over and checked randomly?
Many thanks.
