Drink driving is an offence that brings a mandatory driving disqualification with a minimum of 12 months. The reading you have produced (59µg of alcohol per 100ml of breath) is a reading that is at the high end of the sentencing bracket you fall in. This means that you will face a ban of between 12 and 16 months. Your personal circumstances can potentially help to minimise your penalty. Unfortunately, the lowest ban you can receive is 12 months. There is a possibility that you could be offered a drink driving rehabilitation course. That could reduce your ban by 25%.
