As above. This weekend me and my best mate went out on saturday night and I unbelievably stupidly decided to drive his car home. Didn't get very far as the police must have been waiting for the car to move. Anyway, I blew 69 at the roadside, they took me off to the station where i blew 66 and that is the number they will use against me. I was completely co-operative with them and said i would plead guilty in court. Never been in any form of trouble before and have had a clean licence for almost 5 years. I think i am looking at an 18 month ban for the drink driving offence alone (Just hope they offer me the DDRS course).
But because i was also uninsured I am just wondering if that will likely result in a longer ban or automatic points on my licence when i eventually get it back?
Court date is 2 months away.
Any advice most appreciated. I would assume that anyone who has got their licence back will never look at this site again so difficult to know what people in a similar situation received as punishment.
Someone i know received a 20 month ban for blowing 79 and crashing, yet i am positive that he got his licence back after about a year !?!
Note; technically my friend should have had his car seized for being driven uninsured/letting me drive it, but instead the police just moved it to nearest car park and told him to find his own way home. I had to keep the keys with me so he couldn't move it.
thanks
