Hey, I came home from the park with the dogs and about an hour later I heard a chap at the door. Two police officers who told me that a neighbour had seen me drop my purse and stagger with the small dog (he had scratched my arm and tried to jump down) They asked if I had been drinking, I was literally dumbfounded and said well I am now I am home, and showed them. They said they would breathalyse me and I was astounded and said well clearly i;ll be over the limit but I am in my home. They asked if I had been out and I said yes all morning and named the shops/places etc but was so shocked I knew I was babbling.
they said so you were in the car. I said yes and sober but it's not a crime to drink in my own home. I failed the test and got arrested. I was put in a cell for nearly 16 hours and took to court and it was horrific, they assigned me a duty solicitor who said there was time for you to consume alcohol and there is no video/images etc. I pleaded not guilty. I am beside myself at what will happen.
The issue is 3 years ago I went through a marriage/miscarriage and stupidly went to move my car into the drive and hit the neighbours wall. The police came. I will make no excuses for this one as I was guilty and got a ban.
I am trying to keep positive that I am innocent this time but I don't know what courts are like and terrfied I will lose my licence through this. So frustrating because I had previous it looks awful. I do a lot of work in the community and have a great profession, I know work in a different area where I need my car for work.
I have an appointment with the solicitor Tuesday
thanks
