I was 21 in November. I have never been in trouble and I don't have a full drivers licence. This is the most awful thing I have ever done and feel dreadful about it all.
I had far too much to drink and then, stupidly I took a friends car for a drive, I knew he kept his keys in the car and just really, wanted to drive it I suppose. I ended up turning the car over and over and over landing upsidedown on a country road in the small hours. I cut my head really badly and just managed to squeeze myself out of a partially open window then I called the police and an ambulance. The police were amazing, they stayed with me for a few hours and got a blood sample. Then the police took me the 20 miles home which was very good of them, and they said they would be in touch.
I was at no point arrested.
That was a month ago and I haven't heard anything at all yet.
I know I have completely blown any hope of becoming a car driver for a long time but I really don't know what will happen now, or when. I am paying the guy back for his car every week out my wages and I paid for the recovery and everything for him - we are still friends, he is a good guy.
Should I just wait and use the 'duty solicitor' when I get to any court hearing etc I don't have much money left now with paying out for all this.Any advice or information would be amazing.
Huge thanks in advance
