I have been charged with Drink Driving and Failing to stop - its my first offence and have never been in trouble before.
I left work and then stupidly drove home from the train station, I hit a car that stopped at a round about, I subsequently got out of the car - checked with person who I hit then I just had a mad moment and drove away. I drove home parked the car about 100 yards from my house as I realised I was in trouble - the car was not hidden and by the time I looked towards my house the police were there and handed myself straight into them.
I blew 83/85, and spent the night in jail - interviewed and charged with drink whilst unfit and failing to stop.
I never go out and drink as I drive and on Fridays I always take my son to football but as it was half term he did not have it.
I accept my wrong doing - my biggest concern is a custodial sentence, I will lose my job, our house is rented so my family will lose their home.
I'm so concerned, what is the likelihood of a jail sentence?
