drink driver
New Member
i was caught drink driving nearly two weeks ago. i crashed into onto a roundabout and into a tree. luckily no one else was involved and i didnt injure/kill anyone which so easily could have happened.
the police were called to the scene and i was taken straight to the police station where i took two breath tests which both failed as i didnt breathe for long enough or hard enough so i was charged with failing to provide a specimen.
i have spoken to a barrister who said to request my custody record from the police station which i am yet to receive from the police. the barrister also told me to attend the hearing on thursday and ask for an adjournment and if i am forced to enter a plea to say no plea so that i can get some legal advice on the documents they are using as evidence against me.
i am not sure if this is what i should do or not as i have looked on loads of sites on the net and there is no mention of saying no plea and asking for adjournment. should i do what the barrister has said?
i have never been in trouble with the police before and i am petrified of what is going to happen to me. i have just been made redundant from work which i leave on friday it has all come at the worst possible time.
do you know what sort of sentence i am likely to get? ban, fine, prisionment etc?
also should i have a solicitor present on thursday with me or wait for the adjournment if that is what i should do?
