Hi,
I was convicted of DD In August 2014, I made a terrible mistake which I now am paying for, I received a 4 month home curfew, £150 fine and a 3 Year ban (reduced by 9 months on completion of the TTC Course) I had a high breath reading as was more relieved that I didn't get a custodial sentence, Its my first offence and I took a letter from work about my character etc.
Its been bad as I bought a brand new car a year before my ban which is my pride and joy, luckily my mum was looking for a new car at the time so I've transferred ownership of mine until my ban is over. Its still hard though as I live at home and see my car everyday, I think of it as a reminder of my stupid mistake and its one I wont ever make again!
How do people on here deal with losing their licence? It was a big part of my life and you don't realise the amount of freedom that is gone when you cant just jump in your car any more.
Its already been 7 months so its passing quicker than I thought, I just thought I would post this on here as people know what I'm going through.
I don't expect any sympathy, I have a history with alcohol abuse and had been sober for 4 years before my mentor died suddenly, I felt I had lost the only person who understood my issues and just wish I had never got in my car that night!
I cant turn the clock back now but its bloody hard!
