I was just wondering what people think what my sentence might be next month?
Brief Description of Offence:
Drove to friends house for counselling due to feeling suicidal (1 mile away from house) after drinking and taking sleeping pills, crashed into parked cars. Was taken to hospital and treated for injuries.
Breath Alcohol Level and Reading Type:
N/A
Mitigating Factors:
Clinically depressed, suicidal, on medication, VERY remorseful, polite and co-operative with officers and hospital staff, admitted i had been drinking, early hours during week night, no one around, short distance, no passengers, fully insured, spoke to NHS nurses after getting released provided by the police, provided road side breath test and spoke to a legal aid on the phone at station, they said they would come down but they didnt and i was interviewed without it.
Aggravating Factors:
Failed to supply blood sample due to feeling sick after the accident, (they didnt ask me to do a urine sample after, they just wrote it down straight away as fail to supply) crashed into parked cars, previous drink driving offence in 3 years.
I am planning on getting legal representation and getting as many character witnesses as possible (friends family, doctors) As well as getting counselling.
Your thoughts?
Thanks
