Help!! My husband has been learning to drive recently and after his Uncles funeral on Friday spent a few extra hours with his friends in the pub whilst I came home. Around 9pm I got a call from him that he and his friend had an accident and hit a concrete post. His so called friend let my husband drive his car knowing full well that he only had a provisional license, no insurance plus had been drinking. I am so angry! The police attended and my husband was fully cooperative, admitted everything. I had a full sleepless night whilst he spent the night in custody. My husband has been charged with driving over limit, no insurance and driving on provisional license (terminology different on charge papers). He blew 41 which I am surprised of considering he'd been drinking at the wake all afternoon. I'm so ashamed of him but just as worried my husband will be sent to prison. He will never be driving again and we have cancelled his lessons and test booked in July. Any help/advise appreciated I just don't want him to get a custodial sentence, I'm not sleeping for fear!
