Good morning,
I was arrested last night for drink driving, I blew 58 at the police station. I made a big judgement error last night, normally I would of walked. I am really worried about appearing in court, idealy I would like some one to talk on my behalf and tell the court how sorry I am and how this is going to affect my whole family for the next few years. My kids love their days out with me, but this will now be limited which I feel very bad for them. I might have to demote my self or risk losing my job as I won't be able to get to work at five am or get across Southampton to do the school run as the bus takes too long. But demoting my self also may lead to losing my job as there are no positions available below me.
my main fear is I suffer from cfs. I can't do public speaking, the words get mixed up and I am scared I will say the wrong thing or not enough of the right thing to make a difference. I just need someone there to speak on my behalf but I'm heavily in debt and with Christmas around the corner I'm not sure I could afford the fees. What with a fine on top as we'll.
this is one decision is really going to affect me badly. I take so many people everywhere all the time. I can't even manage to tell anyone as I'm so ashamed.
I have had three points (sp30)removed last year other than that seventeen years of good diving. Also the first time I've ever been arrested for a criminal offence.
what are he chances of the court being lenient representing myself and what do I need to say or are there quite cheap lawyers around.
im also a personal licence holder and my company are thinking of putting me in for dps. Do I need to tell the court of this and how will it be affected
many thanks
