I'm a 2nd year student nurse...
1 week ago on the 26th August, I was out with friends. I had an arguement with one and stupidly decided to get a taxi to hers where my car was( I wish more than anything I got the taxi home).
I'd had 4 pints of fosters (beer), 1 tequila shot and half a bottle of kopparberg.
I got in my car and attempted to drive making the mistake of thinking it was only 10 minutes from her house to mine and I'd be ok. I didn't feel drunk at all... I tried to change from 3rd to 2nd gear and put my foot on the brake at the same time. I broke a bit sharper than I should have which caused the car to spin and crash into a metal railing. I got away with bruises, cuts and minor concussion and thank the lord no one else was involved.
Police and ambulance were called by a shop assistant who'd seen the accident. I was breathalised and arrested at the scene. Bloods were done. I was taken to A police station, held in a cell for hours and interviewed. I was traumatised and still am. It's all a blur.
I'm really struggling to deal with it and I'm so angry with myself and full of regret. I can't sleep or eat properly.
I have to wait for blood results which could take up to 6 weeks and a letter to see if I have to go to court which could take up to 8 weeks.
Can anyone offer me any advice?
I'm terrified it will affect my degree and my job.
Many thanks
