Dear Sirs
I arrived to England last October to begin to work as A & E registrar, due to a delay on the paperwork, I only begun t work by late November. This caused me and my wife a bad economical situation as I was of salary more than two months.
Last Wednesday we had a big argue and she left me, she took her belongings and left without even telling me where she´d go. That same night I took the car and had some 3 cans of beer, then I decided to return home and the car stopped so I left it on a visible place and the returned home by Taxi.
That night I was very depressed and I had possibly another 6-7 cans of beer at home and then I went to bed. In the following morning there was a telephone call from the Police, the car was wrongly parked so I should have it removed asap or face a fine. I was not feeling well, I supposed it was the hangover but I managed t get there by bus. The car was all covered with frozen snow, over 3-4 inches and I managed to clear part of the front window with a card.
I started the engine but a few yards later I was stopped by the police for having snow in the back window. I got down the car and the policeman made me blow: it showed .54, I had had nothing to drink since the day before but apparently it was still on my system.
I was taken to the police office, I was told my wrights, I understood them, explain to them my situation and -always with politeness from both sides -
I agreed to make another blow, the lowest of the two was .41, I was taken in for an hour or so and then released with a note to be at court by the 10 of January. I was told that I could take the services of a lawyer, either on duty or a private one.
My finances are no very well at the moment so my question is what to do next, what should I expect and if it is really worth to take a layer. I am new on this country and I do not really what to do next.
I would appreciate a prompt response.
Yours sincerely IPD
