I logged on here when I was caught driving marginally over the limt in January.
Court date was Feb 18th and that was the inevitable 12 month ban, fine and the rest. I notice most people come here when they first get caught and seldom thereafter. So, how have I survived?
I am lucky in that I work from home, but I need the car for work, or so I thought (travelling to see clients I mean).
Well. I have found out how buses and trains work. I have used taxis when necessary and I have probably saved a fortune in diesel fuel.
I get frustrated about the car sometimes but I manage. The time has passed somehow and next week I do the Drink Driving course (along with 4 other neighbours who got caught in the same police stakeout in the same week!)
Course done I shall get my licence back and return to driving a bit wiser. Bitter? Yes. I was caught bang to rights BUT the police stake out this village all too often as a soft target when they could be dealing with street violence at the other end of the borough. Angry and unfair I know but true. We are a soft touch and they hit their targets
I won't do it again, but one can get through it
