second drink drive offence

[Kaitlin]

I have been charged with a second drink drive offence which I blew 83, also I collided with another vehicle, no one was injured an a small amount of damage to there car, can you help me with what my punishment will be, I am absolutely mortified with what I have done and will have to live with this for the rest of my life, I am petrified I'm likely to go to jail as I am a single mom of two children and there sole provider please any advice appreciated​

A previous conviction so recent is an aggravating factor that the court will take into consideration. This does not put you as an automatic risk of custody but the court will consider the offence alongside the recent one and that will impact on your sentence. Your personal background is certainly important and is something that the court will need to consider. I would recommend speaking with a specialist for further advice about options moving forward.
