Hi, I have just been stopped for drink driving, I had been to a funeral that day and offered to drive back as my partner wasn't in a good place. I had a few at lunchtime and purposefully waited until as late as possible to drive back which was about 11pm, at this point I thought I would be ok to drive. We were stopped just as arrived in Bristol at around 2.30am for not indicating. I showed 58mg in the breath test and am told I should lose my license?? If I do I will lose my job, my flat and everything I own so I am extremely worried now. I know I have made a very silly mistake but it seems extremely harsh to lose everything on a poor call of judgment?? I want to write a letter of mitigation and an early guilty plea but am unsure how to go about it?? I have just got settled after years of unrest on leaving the army, I have finally got all debts in hand and settled with my partner in a nice little flat so want to know what my options are and if it is even possible to save my license?? I also was told I was not insured on the car but we thought I would be as it's my partner's car and she is fully comp and I am also insured on a work vehicle fully comp, will this affect the outcome even more?
