likely sentence

[teddybear]

Hi,
I was charged on Friday with being 67mg readingon the blowing machine so just under double. I hit a parked car on a country road after attempting suicide. I wrote a note and bought pills and gin. For some reason I drove later on up the road and hit a stationary car. I am a teacher who lost his job the day before. No previous convictions. I am now informally admitted at hospital for counciling over my problems. Will I go to prison?

The Magistrates sentencing guidelines advise a 17-22 month disqualification and a fine, so it is highly unlikely that you will go to prison. All of the circumstances of the offence can be put forward in Court as mitigation to try and minimise the sentence.
