I was arrested in Scotland at 2:46 but made a phone call at 5:30 in the morning I was wondering if they would have taken the test before taking my possessions. Hopefully my alcohol level would have dropped in that time.
I was held over night on the early hours of Sunday morning after a blood test as the breathalyser at the station wasn't working, at the holding cell at court on Monday, before I saw a judge I was given Procurator Fiscal liberation without charge or bail conditions, I have my car back and im still driving it. I take it I will hear back from the police one the blood results come back.
I also dont remember giving the health professional permission to take the test only the Police. Isn't it policy that you have to give the health professional permission as well ?
I wasnt given the choice of what blood sample to choose to take as well, I am led to believe you choose the sample you want to take for analysis. My roadside reading was 109.
Very silly thing to do but I had a few drinks at dinner, fell asleep and felt ok to drive as I have a pretty high alcohol tolerance.
Is it worth paying a specialist road traffic lawyer £2000 to fight this or is it simply a case of taking a duty lawyer as I have no chance of saving my licence ?
Any advice appreciated
