I'd appreciate some advice regarding recent dealings with the police.
Some background information:
I was stopped by two police officers and asked to provide a breath test. I did and blew 34. I was then arrested and taken to my local police station where I blew a further reading of 34 and 36. Following this, I was charged, had my fingerprints/photograph taken. After a night in police custody, I was released and given a court date for the end of April.
I have never been in trouble with the law before and held a clean driving license for nearly 15 years. I was fully compliant with everything the police asked me to do.
What would be the likely outcome in this case? I plan to plead guilty and accept fully responsibility for my actions. I understand a ban of twelve months is inevitable, but I read online if I request a drink driving awareness course the ban would be reduced to nine months? When would be the best time to make this request - before or after sentencing?
Many thanks for any input you can provide.
