Hi,
Please help me out, I have been arrested on drink driving offence on Saturday night. I was moving my car on a street to another parking location which is near to my house as it is very hard to get free space nearby. I was returning from a pub and have seen a empty parking space so thought to move it and while reversing i bumped in to another car who was trying to park there so there was small scratch to that car. and then i parked my to another location stepped down to exchange the insurance details and the lady has called police reporting i was drunk, police arrived and did breathalyzer and the count was 88 so the officer has to take me to custody and the reading in the police station was 72. I was asked if have a solicitor as it was 3 am i had to choose one of the duty solicitors. In the morning solicitor has advised me to accept the fault as it has involved an accident so i did. Now i need to appear in court, i understand that i will get a hefty fine, but cant afford to get a driving ban, i do not drive for work but i and my wife (doesn't drive, no license) work in place, where there is no public transport available and this will sure effect our living and could loose a job. Please help.
Thanks
