Gutted!
New Member
I have already posted this but it hasn't appeared so this time will be long story short. I am absolutely gutted I have done this, and it is very out of character! I am so lucky I didnt hurt anyone!!
I have been driving 6 years and have 5 years protected no claims.
This happened the early hours of the 20/01/13
Had an arguement with babysitter when i got home from drinking in town and having a good night with the Mrs.
Jumped in my car and headed to my fathers house to leave before it got heated.
Very icy out and lost control coming off of a roundabout and clipped a sign with my back end. 3am in morning not a car on the roads.
Then lost control on ice coming into housing estate and hit into one parked vehicle, which pushed it into another parked vehicle on a driveway after clipping a small two foot high wall.
Fled the scene - I was in shock.
Arrested at my fathers house 15 minutes later. I was fully compliant and held my hands up immediately. Only thing was I couldn't remember a thing about what happened although I knew I had an accident, and only after was I able to piece things back together.
I blew 100ug at my fathers house - Then at station 15 minutes later I blew 89/90ug.
What am I going to be looking at?
Its my first offence, I have a young family and my partner doesn't drive - we also have a disabled child who struggles to walk any sort of distance without becoming breathless. I feel I really need to get a solicitor to represent me, I know a ban is mandatory, but need it to be as little as possible!
I feel depressed and in shock, Im gutted for what I have done, but thankful no one was hurt
Thanks
