Hi,
My mum made a very silly mistake and drove whilst heavily under the influence. She had only drove half a mile to stop off somewhere and crashed into a parked car! Her reading was 100 + but she can't remember the exact number but doing research it was probably between 100 - 115
She had to stay in the cell overnight and appear in court the next day! She was told she was automatically banned and to attend for sentancing in August. She is due to appear shortly.
She had to go to visit the social work dept to have a background report done (not sure if this is the normal routine)?. They asked her Everything you can imagine!! from childhood until now! Whilst she was there though, she was told a custodial sentance is a possibility at the most. She is now absolutely terrified as am I. There is no way she will cope with a prison sentence!! She said another possibility is community service and or a tag as well as a fine and ban!
She admitted she done wrong and is extremely sorry and disgusted at what she has done. She has admitted she has a drink problem and referred herself to a alcohol counsellor soon after being charged! She has a full clean driving license since she was 17, she is now 60!! Never had bother with the law, never been to court or anything like that! She is on medication for depression and a minor illness. She has told the social worker she is more than happy to have community service.
She doesn't work as she is retired but her and my dad are both home owners and my dad has a well paid job so he would help with any fine imposed!
Because of the high reading and the crashing a parked car she is now got it in her head she is going to prison! She is a very small timid lady with as I said health problems.
Please help if you have been in this situation!
Thanks
