HI
Im 23 i have recently been done drink driving, this site helped me a lot with getting through court and I just had a few more questions.
i blew a 67 at the station and upon getting out if there I did nothing but worry about the experience I'm going to be going through. I might add that in my experience there's no point in getting a solicitor if you we're caught and know yourself your guilty and there's not much they can do, I wasn't in court for nomore than 5mins everything is already wrote Down so your solicitor can't defend you much they can only put through a mitigation which all I did was wrote a letter of apology which the judge told me himself he read and acknowledged how disappointed I was. Non the less I received 20 month ban (reduced to 15 when I do the course) and a £350 fine my weeks pay so write lower if you want lower on the form. I am truley devastated by my mistake of going for a kebab after a night out but it's my own fault and I have to live with it, everyone's been so supportive but until you've done it no amount of support will get u back in you car sooner. And that is what hurts the most I am physically attached to my car I love it its my pride and joy and not to have it for soo long is killing me inside . I just want to know what people's experience like mine have done to take there mind of driving and how to make time pass. I'm a low place right now don't feel like working, socialising or doing anything I feel helpless and worthless , I just want to drive and finding it difficult coming to terms. Also I received no information on how to pay this fine from the court and they didn't say I'd receive any points on my license when I get it back does that mean I won't get any, also what's people's insurance quotes like with a dr10, I have plans to travel next year will this stop me in some countries any advise with help and anyone going trough this or past experience I would love to hear from you I'm only 2 days into my ban and its crippling me !
