Hi there
An argument with my girlfriend caused me to leave her house. I went to a family members parked my car there and had some drink. 30-40 minutes later I called my girlfriend and the police were questioning her as a neighbour had rung them. They came to me, breathalysed me and my result was 47. I had my keys on me but was not in the car. Within those 40 minutes I'd consumed an amount of alchohol that was vodka and coke mixed in a bottle so have no idea of the measurements. My court date is 4th October and my solicitor wants me to complete a scientific countback report at the cost of £250 as I am not entitled to legal aid. I feel worried and nervous now that my license is hanging by a thread and if the report doesn't come back accurate he said he'll advise me to plead guilty. I feel completely hard done by and cannot believe I am at the brink of loosing my license when I wasn't actually driving my car. The police have a witness saying I left my girlfriends and I openly admit driving but explained to them I'd consumed after I got to my relatives. Because the drink was premixed I don't have a clue what to do now, and am considering pleading guilty and just saving the £250. I really am clueless what to do.
I really hope someone can get back to me with some advice.
Thanks very much in advance
