Hi, Wondered if you can help me decide if I should defend this. I consumed a drink and immediately after as I deemed the alcohol not to have been absorbed decided to drive my car across the road with the intention of resting when my sat-nav took me the wrong way and the police pulled me over.
They asked me if I had been drinking and I said I literally just consumed some alcohol. They arrested me under the suspicion of drink driving.
I asked numerous times for a road side breath test and they refused. It is my belief that I was not over the limit at the time of arrest.
I blew a 47 at the station a good hour or so after.
My question is that do I have a defence as I genuinely believe I was not over the limit and was not going to be driving any further as was just pulling up.
I do not know why they would not offer me the road side test as i asked several times.
I have no previous, no points and no other convictions.
