Hi,
I got pulled over on friday and was breathalysed and taken to a police station. Once at the station, I tested positive for alcohol and gave a reading of 61mg in my breath.
I spent the night in the cells and was released the next morning.
I have no issue with the fine and even points, but the possibilty of a disqualification poses real issues to me, I barely (3 weeks) have started a new job after a period of unemployment. As an IT consultant, I am required to drive to different sites everyday, which are definately not a commutable distance. My employer has made it quite clear, that a driving ban will result in me losing my job. To top this off, I live in a area with no public transport and with a child on the way, this is going to be an absolute nightmare, what do you think my chances are for escaping a ban, if I explain my circumstances.
Thanks in advance.
