I'm due in court next week.
I met with a junior solicitor yesterday, who I was going to have represent me, but on retrospect
as its a guilty plea, I think I'll go it alone.
My Reading was 96mg
There was no other aggrivating factors at the time, bar I was pulled as the Police felt I was swerving.
I have no previous convictions at all and no previous motoring offences.
If I do decide to just go on my own, I have rattled up a letter I thought I could maybe give to the sheriff to show
my remorse.
If possible would you mind having a look over it and seeing if there is anything that should be added in or taken out that
may aggrivate the situation.
Many thanks

Dear Sheriff,
Can I please take the opportunity to apologise to yourself, to the court and to society for the reckless, irresponsible and indefensible offence I committed.
I can’t express enough how deeply ashamed and remorseful I am for committing this offence , which sees me appear before you today.
There is no excuse for it. I made a mindless mistake that I’ll regret for the rest of my days.
Being arrested and charged for this offence, has made me stand back and assess my life and the direction it was in. As a background, I’d suffered mental health difficulties in the past and they’d come to the fore these past months. Instead of seeking the appropriate help and support for this, I was burying my head in the sand and stupidly self-medicating with alcohol at home, alone.
Post offence, I came to the decision that I would have to fully abstain from alcohol, and have done since. In light of this my depression and anxiety has actually curtailed a great deal, and this health benefit coupled with the horror and shame of my offence tells me that my life will be so much better without alcohol and the many negative effects It has had on me.
Prior to offending, I saw myself as a decent, respectable, hardworking member of the community. I previously worked for Royal Mail in and around ****, including delivering the mail to this court house. For the past four and half years I have worked in a responsible and demanding job in nursing at *******.
I have never had any contact with the law before, and I will always reflect on this experience to ensure that I reform as a character. I have driven and held a licence for over eight years and have no cautions/points on it.
I’d be grateful and willing to attend a drink driving rehabilitation course, If I’m deemed suitable for such.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Sincerely
stubear
