Hi,
Our daughter was involved in a RTA yesterday that was her fault. She crashed into another car, probably speeding, failed breath test (62). No one injured thank god. She was taken to Police station, finger prints, DNA etc.. Released about 5 hours afterwards. She has a charge sheet and needs to appear at Mag court. What do we do? She is 20 and has had her licence just under 2 years.
There are 4 charges, the last 3 are licence/insurance/test certifiate - all those are in order and we suspect will be dropped once she has produced documentation?
Should we seek legal representation? What can we do to minimise the damage. We realise she will be banned, and looking at the info on here, band c, probably 17 - 22 months but agg circumstances with the crash?
There are no previous issues, never been inside a police station, clean licence, hard worker, good character.
I have loads of ?'s regarding her job, how long she will have a criminal record, who she needs to tell etc., Practical issues but emotionally, its awful. One day at a time.
She is and will continue to the pay the price for her stupidity
Any help/advice really appreciated.
