Ok, i went out with fiends on late night friday 06/11/09 and we really did some serious drinking, which didnt stop till around 12.30pm on saturday. Id had about enuf at this time and so i went home in a taxi and slept through till 9.30pm. I woke up feeling fine, head wasnt hurting, and i didnt feel groggy and so i made my wayb ack to my friends house who was having a few drinks.
One of my other friends who had just had an operation on his arm was in extreme pain, and as id only had about 3 and 1/2 330ml bottles, i said id drive him to his house to pick up some of his specially prescribed painkillers. At the time i felt fit enough to drive in my own sense, i wasnt stumbling, sppech was clear, i could think straight and this was when i was pulled over for speeding through a 30 zone at 3am sunday morning. Im not justifying it but the roads were dead an i was puttin no-ones life in danger.
Anyway, i was made to do a breatherliser at the side of the road, which the first one didnt work, and so was made to blow throught the same piece again- Failed.
I was taken to the polic station were the lowest reading i gave out was 71mg (breath). I was a bit confused as i didnt feel drunk or even feel twice over. I am summonsed to court 24/11/09 and i am feeling i really need some legal representation.
It is making me sick with worry as I am in my second year training to be a Social Worker and I think that a conviction would most definatley get me thrown off the course and struck off the General Social Care Register.
I am also a learning disabiliy support worker and i am worried it will efect the people i support as the use of my car is essential in supporting them in the community as well as taking them to hospital, doctors app ect.
I am really sick with worry that this could ruin my life. Any thoughts would be much appreciated as to ban length ect. I am 22 and have held my license for nearly 3 years. no previous convictions.
