Hi all, a bit of advice needed if at all possible.
Firstly, I blame nobody but myself for my actions. As such, I fully intend to hold my hands up at the very earliest opportunity.
I am 30. Four weeks ago I got into my car, wrapped it round a tree, got taken to hospital, and given a blood test. I am fine, thank God. Nobody else involoved.
Today, the police called. I have arranged to go to be charged and "processed" a week on Friday. My blood test showed me to be twice the limit. I have never been in trouble with the police in anyway before.
However, I can not afford a solicitor. Plus, I want to plead guilty to everything from the moment I meet the police. It is my fault. I am going through hell, no sleep, stressed, but again - my fault. I just want this over with.
Do I need a lawyer? I am planning to write a letter to the magistrates expressing my full remorse and accepting my punishment. I plan on representing myself as I brought this on myself.
Any help very much appreciated. I am in termoil, but want to see it out myself.
Thank you.
