Hi All,
Thanks for looking at this, I have been stressing out a lot about this ever since it has happened. I'll try keep this short and to the point with what happened.
What happened
Driving home on a main road around 1am and lost control of my car. The damage was a parked car which was written off, a driveway wall, a lamp post and two other cars got damaged with debris. I'm lucky to be alive to be completley honest. Nobody else was injured apart from me having bruises and cuts.
After the accident
I don't remember seeing a paramedic but have been told a paramedic attended the accident. I have heard that there is a witness that said I was speeding and driving erraticly. I was obviously intoxicated to the police, don't remember being breathalized at the roadside but was arrested and taken to the local police station where I failed to provide a specimen on the machine. I tried at least two attempts but I think I may have been blowing too hard, I was in shock and can't really remember much. I was not really co-operating much and was very angry at the police for some reason and even swore and shouted at the sargent.
Suffered memory loss from the time the accident took place up until the next morning when I woke up in the cell. Can only remember certain parts.
I am being charged with faliure to provide a specimen - vehicle driver (don't have the bail sheet right now but that is the only charge) - I will be attending court 04/05/2016.
I'm very scared of what my sentence will be and honestly after reading the sentencing guidelines I think that I could seriously be looking at a prison scentence. I have no previous convictions, have a job and I'm 24 years old and a graduate.
If anyone can shed some light if they have been in a similar situation or provide their opinion on the matter please do. All replies are appreciated no matter how blunt.
