As this is your second offence of drink driving within 10 years the minimum ban is for 3 years and this time you are far less likely to be allowed to do he rehabilitation course, in which case you would have to serve the whole ban with no reduction.

In addition, although your reading is only marginally over the limit, your offence is aggravated by the fact you had not yet regained your full driving entitlement. For this reason you are at risk of a community penalty which includes unpaid work, supervision and electronically monitored curfew.

You may wish to arrange legal representation.
