Good morning
And thank you for taking the time to read this,
Looking for some advise i was arrested last October and charged with drink driving I didnt deny drink driving however I had drank after i had arrived home, so went down the route of getting a solicitor and having bacs test done to try and get a reading i was happy to plead on,
I blew 129 at the station so thats the point the prosecution wants to charge me at
My expert said the reading when driving would have been between 60-75
When I went to court for sentencing the case was dismissed and the judge called for a newton hearing as the 2 figures in his mind were too far apart, I would have been fine if he had just split the difference im expecting a large ban just want prison or alot of community service hours removing as an option,
My question is whats the newton hearing going to be like ? How much involvement will I have ? What sort of things will they ask ?
Any advise from people who have been in this situation would be appreciated
Thanks
