Hi folks,
My misery I have brought upon my family but especially our autistic child. I have been driving around 15 years with a clean licence and I also have no convictions.
I've been under a lot of stress recently and suffer from depression, anxiety, panic disorder and fibromyalgia for years, though a week ago I started experiencing auditory hallucinations which I have not had since 2015, well to cut the story short... I had 8 Budweiser’s and finished around 10pm then around 11:30pm I had a silly argument with the partner and she told me to leave the house, so I did also taking car keys though knowing I consumed alcohol I went nearby friend’s house until around 1:15am and on the way back I text my partner but she said no go somewhere else, so I stupidly took the vehicle which is my child’s Motability car, I know…
She heard me leaving driveway and tried phoning me but I ignored it while driving then I pulled over and called her she told me I did not have permission to take the car, but I didn’t know this until I already taken the car as I’m the daily driver and only person on the insurance and then she said police are on there way so I brought car back parked it on driveway and just sat outside house knowing what I did was very wrong. So, police turned up and asked I said no wasn’t me drove it and didn’t know where keys are…
I’ve never been in trouble before so thought I was going to prison!
I blew 21 and 22 at roadside (Scotland) down at station blew 28 and 29, was searched and found key.
So I've got 3 charges… taken car without permission, driving under the influence of alcohol and failing to give identity of the driver.
Any help and advice on this will be greatly appreciated.
