Hi there.
I'm new around these parts, I'm Rob
I've just got a burning question that's in the back of my mind.
I, as many other people here, have to live with the shame and disappointment of getting banned for a drink driving offence. Which, I fully accept and have come to terms with the stupid mistake.
I my reading was 53 (breath), however, I unfortunately slipped the clutch and landed myself, first into a bumper of a parked car, then a tree - which stopped me and ruined my car. (down my street)
Most people say I was hard done by, but I think all bans are fair. I received a 30 month ban, community service and a fine (I think it was because of aggravated factors. The ban is from 24th June 2013 to 29 Dec 2015 - 30 weeks off by doing the course,
I have done the Drink Drive course which reduced the ban by 25% as stated. However, after just looking, and calculating, it apears to be wrong (the date the DVLA say my licence can be returned)
I'm banned for 914 days. DVLA say I can have my licence back on 27 May 2015.
but...
25% off this is 228 days. Leaving a ban of 686 days
686 days from 24/6/13 is actually - 11 May 2015.
am I right, or am I Just confused. Or are thye just working it off weeks, so I don't actually get the full 25%?
Thank you V. much for who'ever answers or slaps me about to make it clear
