Hello everyone,
can someone advice me on my chances of not being found guilty in court. A few weeks ago on a nice summer evening, me and a friend picked some beers up and drove to the local park and parked up, and walked to the lake to enjoy the sun and the beers.
Towards the end of the evening it started getting a bit chilly so me and my friend decided to go and sit in the car so he can finish his last beer off (I had already finished mine). I was sitting in the drivers seat of my car, and friend was sitting in passenger seat. My intention was not to drive home that evening as I had had a few beers. I live less than a mile from the park so was going to leave the car in the secured car park and walk home or possibly ask wife to pick me up.
The police do regular routine neighbourhood checks in the park, so they drove up to my car, and walked up to me and said "your eyes are glazed" and breathlized me. I failed and got the red light. They took me to the station and I got 46 and 47 on the breath test. I then had a blood sample taken 15 minutes later, which I will find out the results in a few weeks.
My question is, I was not driving the car, engine was not on. I did not intend to drive home that evening, do I have a chance in court, if my blood comes over 80?
Your advice would be most appreciated.
Thanks
