Re: OMG!
Brief Description of Offence:
had moved my car 1/2 mile in to a car park after only a few pints drank over a course of 4 hours, considered myself sober. went back to where I was drinking and drank more (about 2 cans of strong lager and a shot). then returned to the car about 2 hours later with the intention of sleeping in car over night. was in the car for a short while when police van pulls up and they ask if I am drunk? I admit to being drunk but as i know I should not be in charge of the car I had put the car keys in the glove compartment of the car. I get these from the passenger side of the car and show them to the officer. I am then arrested and taken to the police station. no breath test in the street.
Blood Alcohol Level and Reading Type:
reading 1 = 47 mg, reading 2 = 46 mg. gave blood sample, awaiting results.
Mitigating Factors:
42 years old, no previous convictions, clean licence. was not intending to drive. live over 40 miles away from where i was parked and not as if i had started my journey home. work in the transport industry and have a vocational licence
Aggravating Factors:
none I can think of ???
Legal Representation at Court?:
probably will need to!
Sentence:
awaiting result of blood tests. so far spent 7 hours in a cell, DNA, fingerprints etc. seems all the norm having read the blogs on here. have to go back to Police Station, (about a 90 mile round trip) on 2nd September.
Offered the Drink Driving Rehabilitation Course?:
n/a
Sentence Comments:
i was not driving the car and I didn't intend to at the time. I was only just over the limit of alcohol. If I get even just points on my liecence I will loose my job as I work in Transport. I can't believe this is happening.
