Background: 27-03-2010 I was caught by police at my car at midnight and brought to police station to take breath test. The reading was recorded at 74. 12-04-2010 before the court, the duty solicitor told me that I had no defence, and advised to plea “guilty” to get shorter period of disqualification and to take rehabilitation course. The court charged me £130 and 13 months of disqualification, plus I agreed to attend the rehabilitation course. My evidences were read by the duty solicitor after “guilty”. I passed the rehabilitation course and received the Certificate of completion and my driving licence in May 2011. From the information obtained on the course I realised that I was charged for “drink drive” while I should have been charged for “drink in charge of the car” as I was taken by police at my car and I gave up the key from my pocket and I did not drive the car being drunk.
I wrote my plea for leniency to the court 05-03-2011, exploring all details of the case in line with the one read by the duty solicitor in the court. The letter I received from the court confirmed that they were unable to do anything with my evidences and my plea.
Current situation: Trying to find and arrange employment I was proposed by the potential employer to undertake examination for the BIIAB Level 2 Award for Personal Licence holders. 12-03-2012, I passed the exam and now awaiting the results. I found the list of relevant offences to a person being considered unsuitable to hold a personal license, which includes Driving with excess alcohol in one’s body. I could not find details whether this relates to my case or not, whether the conviction is spent.
Could you give me the answer IF I am unsuitable? Is there any way to change the situation in my circumstances? If there is a way, could you undertake the case?
