Hi all. Not sure what I need here, other than being able to talk about it...
My husband was disqualified for drink driving and having an accident in November 2020. He had a previous incident leading to disqualification 8 years earlier, and had had his licence back for about 6 years.
In late August 2021 he had an accident while drunk and disqualified. I think he tried to leave the scene on foot but a bystander brought him back and he was arrested. He was injured and taken to hospital, so blood taken. We're now waiting for the much dreaded letter any day now I assume.
Obviously he's terrified. And angry with himself. He has been to a few counselling sessions, and went to an alcohol support group who apparently said that he doesn't have an issue with booze - obviously wrong!
Is a prison term likely?
And yes, I know he's a bloody idiot.
