Hi all,
This is my first post and I am putting this to the public as I am frightened by the prospect of being sentenced to jail time for my offence.
If anyone could provide their opinion on the circumstances it would be much appreciate it. I am of course seeking legal aid in preparation for my court date as well:
I was charged yesterday with failure to provide a blood specimen without reasonable excuse. I was intoxicated but have not been provided with any breathaliser values from previous attempts prior. There was no one incidents/crash or anyone injured as part of my offence but I had travelled some distance.
Even though I refused the specimen I wasn't rude when in the police station just asking for legal aid a number of times.
I was then put in a cell, until I passed a hand held breathilizer (which I failed once in the morning). I then spoke to a solicitor and was charged and provided a court date and taken back to my vechile.
I do have a previous DR10 which was served which started 31st Dec 2007 and finished 30 Mar 2009.
I've seen quite a few posts about repeat offending but not a drink driving scenario with a failure to provide charge.
I am worried to death that I will face prison time for my charge and wondered whether anyone could advise me on my chances.
