Hi Sean, hope your well. Last night I went out with some friends for a few drinks, upon going back to his house a fight broke out so I decided I wasn’t staying there and got in my car as serious things could’ve happened. On the way home I clipped a curb causing my passenger side wheel to buckle. I contacted the RAC to get my car towed away & was told it will be a 2/3 hour wait. The car wasn’t drivable so I just sat in it with my hazards on. I also contacted my parents to let them know the situation, to which they arrived at my car shortly after. As my dad and myself were trying to push the car into the lay-by ( Mum sat in drivers seat trying to steer ) a police car approached us asking what had happened and if everything was okay? I explained it was my car and that id marked a curb and car had come to a standstill. He asked me if I had been drinking, to which I replied yes. I provided a road side breath test of a reading 91, but the officer said there not that accurate, it’s just a indication or a pass/fail mark? So I got taken to the police station, was very polite with the people, responsive and as helpful to them as I could be. I then got placed on the breathalyser to which my lowest recording was 66. I’ve been told I have a court hearing, and I’m worried of the outcome. As this is my 1st ever dealing with the police, I’m hoping they’ll take that into consideration & see me for the decent family man I am. I really depend on my car licence for my children, and work life.
Would I need to get a solicitor at my court hearing, or do they provide you with one, as I didn’t ask for one in my interview when with the police.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, I look forward to your relly
Kind regards
Gareth
