Hi all,
I'm looking for a bit of advice regarding my stepson. He crashed his car while intoxicated around 4 months ago and was arrested, but taken straight to the hospital to get checked out.
After he had been seen, he discharged himself and since then has not driven since the car was a write-off.
He's had no contact from the police at all in 4 months. I realise from this forum that it can take up to 6 months, so not in the clear yet, but he has also applied for a certificate (can't recall the legal name) to travel to Canada for his Visa which states no convictions and no outstanding/processing convictions.
He MAY get lucky and in a few months' time not get a letter from the police, we will just wait and see on that.
I wanted to get advice on him driving in the meantime. He's not driven at all, as stated, but has been offered the use of a friend's car while they work away. I assume technically right now, he's innocent as he could contest the charges (although won't). Can he drive until any convictions have been processed or are this regarded as a massive No given that he's been arrested and blown over the limit?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
