Hi,
I was caught drunk driving a vehicle with 55. The vehicle belonged to a friend who was in the car who asked me to drive it but was also drunk however they let her go home. The solicitor who I spoked to while at the station advised me not to get a private one and use the on duty one, as well as to plead guilty.
My court date is for the 18th of May.
As I do not hold a UK driving licence, I was wondering, would they make me surrender the physical copy of my EU driving licence?
Also as I do not have enough money for a private solicitor, if I were to metigate myself, should I mention the fact that I am on antidepressants and that my friend asked me to drive the car or would that seem like an aggravating factor?
Last if I do not have money for the fine and the driving course, can I ask for that to be spread out and when should I ask for this?
Thank you very much!
