Yesterday I went to collect breakfast & had a drink the night before. The police stopped me as my partners car had no MOT (in garage today getting 1) I wasn't aware of this thought. As they stopped me they carried out a breathalyser and it read 44. I was taking to the police station and let back out yesterday evening.
I was very honest with the officers and done everything they asked. This was my 1st time ever getting into any sort of trouble with the police & I have never had any problems with driving since I passed my test in 2012. When we got to the station I used the machine and was in that part of the building for around an hour due to the machine having problems printing the slip out and that they would maybe have to get bloods taking from doctor. When it finally worked they only got 1 and had to photo copy them but then the others finally came out so no blood test was taking, the police office said the sergeant that they needed to get the machine looked at.
I take full responsibility for my actions and although I felt ok I clearly was over the limit and will have to deal with the punishment I receive. I couldn't be more disappointed & sorry that this has happened as its something I am totally against but due to the location on my work I would need to leave if license is lost for a long time. Could you please advise me on what you think the outcome will be and what I should be going forward? I am up at court in May
