On Thursday night I needed to get something from the shops and stupidly drove after having some wine. I drove there fine and when I left I reversed out of the car parking space and a car nipped round me so I swerved as I thought they were going to hit me. I was then in an awkward position and reversed into a lamp post. I was a bit shocked and carried on down the road and my foot slipped on the pedal. I managed to bang into two cars. By this time local residents had come out at the noise and I sat in my car as it had demobilised itself. The local rang the police and sat with me before the police arrived. I was breathalysed on site and my reading was 105. When I get to the station the machine would not take a reading so they did a blood test about 9pm. It was not an hour after I was breathalyser and they seemed very keen to get it done. I was locked up. About 2am they came in to breathalyse me and my reading was down to 45. They said I had to stay all night to be interviewed at 8am, I was not interviewed until 1.30pm. The duty solicitor told me to say no comment to everything which I did. But now I wish I had not.
My husband has asked to move out. I only started a new job 5 weeks ago and I have to drive for my job. I had been off work for a year with anxiety and depression and had been out under pressure to go back to work and I knew I was not ready too. all this week I have been a mess again, stressed, not sleeping and generally feeling overwhelmed due to my husband being an idiot at home. So on Thursday night Inhad a few glasses of wine. My family are staggered as they say I did not smell of wine before I went out. My husband is saying I sat in the car and drank wine from the shop, which I did not.
I feel utterly devastated and am now panicking about my job and money as I have no savings and my husband has emptied our account.
My questions are - has anyone been sent to prison? Does smacking into cars make it likely.
When do I phone the insurers as my blood tests will not be back for 6 weeks?
Have people been able to get new jobs while banned and if so what were they, as there is no way I can carry on doing what I am doing.
I am really struggling and the enormity of what has happened is hitting me. I don’t want to loose my kids as this is the rock bottom along with a series of mental health issues I’ve had. I’ve been all over the show and this has affected the kids.
Help and advice needed.
