My 20 year old son was last weekend arrested for drink driving - he’d had 2 pints on a completely empty stomach so blew 50 - he is due to appear in court next Monday. What is likely to happen? - I’m assuming a ban, fine, points (and in his case because he is 3mths short of having his licence for 2 years then he’ll have to retake all his theory & practical test again?)
There is no defence as the facts speak for themselves but obviously I’m gutted as he will just be seen as a drink driver when in reality I can honestly say he isn’t - he hardly ever drinks let alone drinks and drives and why he did that night I’ll never know I just fear this one mistake will cost him so much when he’s actually a decent bloke who works for a living and only 9mths ago watched his stepdad collapse & die in front of him at home
I feel he’s had no advice as to what will happen at court - he had no advice at the police station, just breathalysed & charged & told to appear in court next Monday - I’m going out of my mind with worry
