I was involved in an incident on 24th July in which my car left the road and ended up in some gorse bushes beside a golf course on its roof. I swerved to avoid a baby rabbit and managed to also avoid a stone face and in turn went through a fence and the car slid down an embankment and ended up on its roof. I was knocked out and have no recollection after that for a good hour or so. I had a bad gash on my temple and a cut arm as my right side smashed the drivers window. I have subsequently left the scene, which I do not recall, and made my way home, with my friend who was in the car with me. He had no injuries.
The short version is that the police were obviously looking for me and they manged to call me from my house, I was in my friends house next door, and I came through to speak to them. Told them my story and I was breathalyzed. I blew 64! I was genuinely shocked at this as I had been drinking the night before until 5 am on straight vodka, but I felt okay as the incident had happened at around 5 pm. It was about 7 pm when the police met up with me.
I was taken to police station with my friend. Due to head injury i began to be sick and it was decided to take me to hospital as there was some blood in my vomit. I had not been booked i at this point as I was in the process of doing so prior to being sick. Taken to hospital and kept in until about 1 am I was charged prior to leaving hospital with Drink driving, leaving the scene and careless/dangerous driving, yet to be decided. I submitted a blood test at the hospital, I believe this was taken around 10 to half past 10.
I was then taken back to police station where I blew 21. It was noted that I had not yet been booked in, so they had to book me in and release me. I have not had any results back from the blood test and this is nearly 13 weeks ago. I would like to know if this is common place or the subject of a back log etc. I appreciate you are unable to give me a definitive answer, but I would appreciate it if you could give an answer based on your experience. I haven't yet received a citation either. I am just curious as I was told 3 weeks for results.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
