Hi could anyone advise me please?
I'd done something so stupid ...took car out after having a few drinks crashed my car into 4 other cars that were parked panicked and ran from the scene and was caught and arrested blew 66 at the station. Had admitted to officers that arrested me it was me driving and it was my car they got me to sign to say I'd ammited it they thought it was the male passenger driving at first... what charges am I looking at? Clean licence never been in trouble before I'm so worried. Thank you.

If you have already been charged and the allegation is one of driving with excess alcohol only then the court will consider the reading as a starting point for sentence. A reading of 66µg means that the court will consider imposing a disqualification of between 17 and 22 months together with a fine.

If you are yet to be charged then without further detail it isn't possible to give you a definitive idea of charges at this stage. If you haven't yet been charged then it may be that the police may be considering charging you for an offence that relates to the standard of your driving such as driving without due care and attention of dangerous driving. Alternatively, if there was a delay between the incident and the police catching up with you, they may be carrying out a back calculation to get a more accurate idea of the amount of alcohol likely in your breath at the time of the incident. They may also charge you for failing to stop at the scene of an accident and failing to report an accident.

I would strongly advise you speak to a specialist to ensure that any advice received is based on the full facts of the case and is as accurate as possible.
