Hi,
I was recently pulled over and charged with drink driving. I appear at court on Monday. My reading at the station was 58. This is the first time I have ever had anything like this having never done anything this stupid before, nor having sped, crashed etc. My license was essentially clean. I was pulled over at 2:30am and was driving quite slow as I was aware that I had been drinking. I was travelling 4.1 miles. I had gotten in to the car as I had to be somewhere early the next morning (due to an emotional family crisis) and was concerned that if I didn't get home I would be late and therefore miss the appointment. Is it worth bringing any of this up in court or will it likely be ignored? Do I speak in my defence or do I simply plead guilty and show them that I am absolutely horrified that I was idiotic enough to get in to the car?
Thanks in advance.
