Are you sure it was Section 5 you were convicted of? I blew a lower reading of 113 and I got a 28 month ban reduced to 21 months after my TCC reduction course.
When researching drink driving legislation, Magistrates go off a national table which is a template for the sentencing and punishment guidelines.
A first time drink driver blowing 120 or more HAS to be given a minimum of 29 months as they fall into the highest category for drink driving. If you blew a lower reading of 123, I cannot understand why you would get a lesser sentence?
Price1367 may be able to confirm this but I thought Magistrates have to set the punishment & length of ban according to the specifics of this table regardless of circumstances of the case.
