Yeah, it's pretty rough at the moment. Helps to talk though, so thank you for listening.
I know full well that what he's done is ridiculous. Thanks for the input, and I'm under no delusions as to what the outcome might be, however your brand of 'support' is not what I'm looking for.We all make mistakes and some of us do it more than once to fall in the HRO bracket.
I am never one to be critical of anyone, live and let live is a great motto.
It is difficult for me to get my head around a person, not only driving on a ban, but drunk, on a ban, cause an accident & then try and run away !! He could not have made his situation worse if he tried - could he ?
Surely "Prisons" were invented for this sort of behaviour ??
Where other forms of Punishment / Rehabilitation have clearly failed, just not working to keep our community safe from these repeat offenders with a clear disregard for the rules.
Not sure if you are/have been an alcoholic CDT123, but if you haven't then you have no idea the stupid things that alcoholics do that seem perfectly normal and rational to them at the time.We all make mistakes and some of us do it more than once to fall in the HRO bracket.

Bit of an update...
Court date was on Tuesday, at which our solicitor pointed out that my husband's blood sample was labelled incorrectly - it had his name, but no unique reference number. They advised to defer and have this looked in to, so new court date is in 4 weeks time. The sentencing outcome won't be any worse for this deferral, and could actually work in our favour - though we're not relying on that.
So the waiting continues...
I pray it goes in your husbands favour, have you heard about the Randox toxicology blood testing scandle ? Goes to show sometime these labs get things wrong! Please remember to take care of yourself aswell as your husband. I wish you luck xBit of an update...

Hi Stevienix - no, he's back in next Tuesday.Has your husband been back to court yet? If so hope all went well
Good luckHi Stevienix - no, he's back in next Tuesday.
Wishing you both good look.Hi Stevienix - no, he's back in next Tuesday.
At least he can keep driving until this gets resolved.So the saga continues...
Second court date was yesterday - but the blood sample identification issue was still not resolved, so it's now been deferred to August while they continue to investigate... Really didn't anticipate that it would take a year of stress and anxiety for this to be sorted!
No he really can't - he was already disqualified...At least he can keep driving until this gets resolved.
Sorry, I'd forgotten about that.No he really can't - he was already disqualified...
Super stressful! He's doing a little better, but has a way to go yet.Sorry to hear about this. Must be awful to have this still hanging over you both.
How is he doing now with regards to alcohol? Any better (I hope)?
