Some advice would be gratefully appreciated. Studiply, I drove whilst over the limit and was caught. I commute home from London everyday and use a 50cc moped (i.e not much faster than a pushbike!)to get to and from the railway station. It was 2.00am and the taxi rank was empty, so used the moped as felt fine. Roads deserted, but went through a light on amber (can take about 5 minutes to go green again and just wanted to get home). Police saw this, I was breathalysed and registered at 59mg. Just wondered if the time of offence and the type of vehicle I was driving have any bearing on the length of ban. I was fully cooperative at the police station and even the police commented that I was one of the most sobre DUIs they had had in, and could not smell alcohol on me. They even gave me a lift home afterwards. The only reason I ask this, is that just before this, I discovered that my wife had fallen pregnant for the third time and baby is due in January. It is very likely that the birth will have to be a cesarean which prevents her from driving for approx 6 weeks. My stupid behaviour is going to really seriously impact her ability to get about. Any advice would be appreciated
