Hi,
On 09/05/09 I was charged for being in charge of a motor vehicle - alcohol level above limit with a reading of 98ug. I was travelling up a hill when i took my eyes off the road for 1-2s to look at my built in sat nav/bluetooth unit when on the brow of the hill a park car appeared in the road on passengers side. I steered to avoid it and as it was a narrow gap i crashed into the parked car on the drivers side. I was travelling about 25-30mph or less. I was on my way home after being to the pub after a stressful day at work.The police attended and then made the arrest and took me the station and breathalysed me. I drank 4pints of strong cider and didnt eat anything all day, which is totally out of character. I work in the motor industry and have been suspended with the likelyhood of losing my job.
I am due to appear in court 20/05/09. I have already pleaded guilty. What do you think my likely punishment for a first offence would be? Also as I admitted I was on my way home can they change the charge to DD?
