So, in Nov 2020 I was banned for drink driving. Pulled over and blew 87 at the roadside, 85 at the station. First conviction and hadn’t been involved with legal system before. It was all pretty scary, felt the usual shame and embarrassment but I soon got over it after court. I was banned for 17 months and fined £500.
I soon got used to not driving, taking public transport and cycling. I haven’t told anyone and only my spouse knows.
applied for my licence in Feb and it arrive mid March. I managed to get fully comp insurance with all the trimmings for £133 per month so not too bad considering i drive a Merc.
It felt like forever, but I’m on the road again from Monday. For those at the start of this journey, it gets better and you’ll adjust. We all make mistakes, just learn and whatever you do, don’t make the same mistake again!
This forum has been great during my ban and really helped put things in Perspective when I was at my lowest. Good luck all and see you on the M4
