Hi
I need some advise about what to expect after a charge of DD on Weds 14th March please.
I was seen pulling out of a pub carpark at approx 11pm. The police were there as I pulled out and so I pulled over of my own accord in a safe place before they flashed their lights etc. I blew 87 on the side of the road. Was taken to the police station where I started having panic attacks and said that I needed my medication of beta blockers as I suffer with severe anxiety, high blood pressure and depression/stress. I have been under immense stress through illness and losing my job which resulted in me making a suicide attempt last June. As a result of the panic attacks I was unable to provide 3 breaths at the station I provided one breath which read 78. I was then given a blood test which has been sent off. The nurse was concerned for my blood pressure. I was later given my beta blocker which helped calm me down. I am a Health care professional, home owner, never been in any trouble before and am 43 years old. I live alone so my income is it. My work have said that they will support me and are willing to write a character reference for me. My GP is also willing to write a letter to back up my recent medical problems. I live near to work so do not need my car for this although I am required to travel to another hospital at various times which is 25 miles from home. I work on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week every 3rd week.
I expect to lose my licence and am incredibaly remorseful for being such an idiot. Please can you advise me of what I can expect and will any of the information I have given you go in my favour to reduce the ban length? Is it worth me getting a solicitor? How much information can the newspapers disclose?
Any advise will be greatly received. Kind regards
