Hi,
Last weekend I drove my car knowing I was ok to drive after only having two small glasses of wine at a party. Id had a strong painkiller(tramadol) from a friends partner as I was suffering from a headache which was making me feel sick. A friend travelled with me in the car as she too also knew Id only had two drinks, shes says after my second drink(which was bought for us by a stranger) and she hadnt drunk hers as she said it tasted funny. I started o act weird and out of character like i wasnt really there. Anyways we literally drove around the corner, the car swerved and the police appeared from nowhere and pulled us over. I cant remember a lot of what happened at the roadside but I was taken to he police station and was asked to provide a breath sample, I was unable to provide a reading as I was having a panic attack and struggling to breath( I asked to see a doctor but I was refused my request) I tried to explain that I have to do the peak flow test to check my lung capacity as part of my job and that I struggle with this too, but my protests fell on deaf ears. Anyway I was then told that as I couldnt provide a breath sample I had to give a urine sample( at this point Id not had any fluids for at least 3 hours) I couldnt go and I was told i had 4 seconds to have a wee or I would be charged. Needless to say I couldnt go, I was hyperventilating and in tears at this point, so then I got put in a cell kept in overnight and released the next morning, charged with failing to provide a specimen at the roadside and failing to provide urine at the station. Ive got to go to court in 6 weeks time. Im worried sick, cant eat or sleep and so stressed out. If anyone can give me any advice I would be grateful. Ive never been in trouble before.
