I had the same fear, spent weeks worrying myself sick. In reality the news have much bigger things to report on so chances are very slim so try not to worry about it.I have court next week and I’m terrified that the press will be there and that I’ll be in the paper. How many if you ended up in the news? Trying to prepare myself. Thank you x
It will blow over - walk tall you have not killed anyone it’s one mistakethe community I live in all know and have been gossiping since it happened. I just can’t face any more if I’m honest. X

Thank you. I am already wishing I could fast forward a year. I think I’m looking at 2 years at least . I blew 103 on road and couldn’t blow at station as I was in such a stateHi ace,you've made a mistake.we all make mistakes at some point or another.the point is simple a mistake.youve not hurt,crashed or killed anybody.people will allways gossip it human nature.let them get on with it.walk tall and be proud of yourself and what you have achieved in life.life will be tough without your wheels but time will fly bye and you will adapt.if you can keep your job and pay the bills this is a great start.it does get easier as time goes by.all the best.i know it's hard to believe right now but you will be a stronger person in 12 months time.
Don't waste the next 2 years of you life ace.thats a sin.you will feel awfull for some time.court date will come and go.thats a hurdle out the way.will you keep your job...Feels like I’m going into lockdown again...
I'm really sorry to hear you are feeling like this. Just a couple of weeks ago I posted on here how awful I was feeling after being convicted 2 months ago. Since then my mental state has improved, font get me wrong it's still hard and I'm still finding my strength but slowly the acceptance is forced upon u and u just have no choice but to get through each day. I have the same feeling as u that everyone else is coming out of lockdown and I've just entered it but slowly slowly I'm starting to see that it wasn't a murder charge. There's so many factors surround your feelings right now. Guilt, same, shock, disbelief, I could go on. You need to deal with each emotion at a time and just get through it. One of my greatest comforts is this site, you realise that the majority of people on here are every day good people that have made a mistake has devistated them, so you find that you are not that alien after allFeels like I’m going into lockdown again...
I experienced all of this 2 years ago when I was sentenced . The whole experience was horrific and I was a nervous wreck . I was very unwell emotionally, and alcohol was an issue . I can honestly say that nothing turned out as badly as I had imagined. I am now hoping fir the return of my license when the disqualification expires in 2 weeks. I have attended the medical and hope the DVLA will process things quickly. I was immensely embarrassed / ashamed/guilty and of course still feel some of that . However there is a limit to how much we can castigate ourselves . As for those who stand in judgement : they truly are not worth bothering about . Also , if you get offered the opportunity to do the Drivers Rehabilitation Course , do so . It reduces the length of ban , but more than that , it was excellent.Thank you Louise. This site is really helping me atm. It’s also scaring me as I didn’t realise that I would have to have a medical etc to get my license back. It is informing me though which I guess is a good thing. There is so much to sort out and face that some moments are overwhelming.
Thank you for replying to me. I’m sorry you are going through the same but it’s good to know there is light at the end of the tunnel in some shape. I think once I know what I’m facing in terms of a ban I will cope better.
Take care x
