Hello Everyone.
Unfortunately last week I was caught drink driving.
I picked my friend up from work and we headed out for our first post lockdown drink. I had fully intended to leave my car in town and walk home, but I had a few wines too many and and my next memory is being stopped by the police, I hadn’t even left the carpark. I had only had 4 glasses of wine but the alcohol had an unusual affect on me.
I blew 92 at the station, I was fully cooperative and to be honest the police couldn’t have been kinder to me on the night.
I’m obviously very sorry, it’s completely out of character for me to take a risk like that and I will be pleading guilty. It’s just one of those life lessons and I’m grateful that no one got hurt.
I have decided to just chance it with a duty solicitor but I need some advice with my mitigation. I know I’m looking at a lengthy ban and a fine but if there’s anything I can say to limit the damage. Please help!
Thanks in advance.
