My husband was driving home after a work's party, drunk (0.7 promille), while looking for a park had an accident with a motorbike, got scared and drove away, then returned to see if the driver was ok, but still hasn't done anything, just came home. AN hour later police was at the door, they took him to the station and kept in all night before interviewing.
He is due to see the judge in tow weeks time. He also asked me to say I was driving, I did, but after 5 minutes it became clear that I wasn't and he then admitted it was him (that was before police took him to the station)
All I would like to know is - how likely is he get a prison sentence? He has a clean licence and no other convictions. We have a 20 months old son and I am 6 months pregnant, he just got a new job so not being able to come to work (if he is in jail) would mean he will loose it and we won't be able to pay our mortgage.
Any chance he can get away with less then 4 weeks jail (I'm not worried about fines, points, and community work - only the fact that he might/will loose his job if he needs to go into prison for more then 3-4 weeks)
