My Husband And I went out for a meal and had a few drinks. At the end of the night I made the disastrous decision that I would just drive because I felt ok! Biggest mistake of my life! Anyway as we left the restaurant I clipped the wall didn’t damage it or anything but scrapped my car, knowing what I had done I left it and came home.
Anyway unbeknown to us the restaurant had reported us however when they reported it they indicated my husband drove which is completely untrue,
Anyway the police came I confessed as soon as they arrived however because of the statement from the restaurant and the fact my husband is the registered keeper of the vehicle they completely ignored what I told them (I confessed many many times) and just wanted him, my husband didn’t admit myself or him drove he just didn’t really answer. Eventually despite what I told them they took a breath sample from my husband and took him Away, at the station he said he did try but between anxiety and the physical pressure the police put on him he couldn’t complete the breath test (he care home with large bruising on his arms and they cuffed him during the whole period of trying to obtain a specimen)
Anyway it has now came to light that nobody at the restaurant seen my husband drive at all they just assumed, my mum was here looking after our kids so she knows I was driving and so my husband never was a drink driver.
They are now however charging him with not giving a specimen at the station which will see him lose his license for 12 months... he never even drove drunk!! It absolutely boggles me and to make it worse as it’s passed no case is being brought against me at all even though I did actually drink drive!! I am at disbelief as to how this is even possible!!
Anybody ever experienced anything similar and found any way around or argument against this it just seems ridiculous! I have admitted guilt. This will massively affect my husbands work and he didn’t even do it!!
We live in Scotland as I know laws can be slightly different here but this seems completely absurd!
