Just spoken to my dad. I’m giving the car to my dad, will sign it over to him and he is going to be insured on it. What a stress this all has been, only questioned insurance cause got my insurance renewal through
just as well I checked though. Thanks everyoneYep. That's what I did with my son the first time. He then gave the car back to me and the second time I just transferred ownership to him permanently.
I am sure you will start to feel better after Thursday. That will be a hurdle over. I hope it goes as well as it can for you.Just spoken to my dad.

Thank you Polly, will be sure to let everyone know x
, I’ve told my lawyer to put forward a guilty plea because I can’t cope with this any longer. Regarding my car, I have signed it over to my dad and he is going on the insurance. Once my ban is up, he will sign it back over to me and I will insure it (if I can afford it 
) so until now I do not have an outcome but by this time next week I will know for sure my outcome. Thank you all again for your great support. Tyffany xxWell done and Good for you . It will pass more quickly than you think .
Do what I did. Buy an electric bike. You will get healthier, lose weight, and enjoy local countryside around where you live.
I’m managing on the buses as some places I have to travel with my children. I’m walking a lot of places as well which is why I think it’s helping mentally too, unfortunately due to being I’ll not too long ago I couldn’t afford to lost weight but it’s certainly helping keep me fit though. My local shop is a big super market which is great so I done a big food shop and the taxi back was only £4 which is great so I’ve definitely managed to work around things and it willl only get easier the more I do it
thank you thoughYeah I’m praying the back log of Carry on with the DVLA ends and also the petrol by June next yearGot my licence back a few months ago, it does go a lot quicker than you might think, plus the course was actually quite good fun.. Course as someone has pointed out my car is back where it spent the ban due to a lack of available petrol ..
Hi Im sorry I just been caught yesterday evening in scotland absolutely stupid cow I am I went back to the car from pub where I had a few drinks the pup is only few streets down from my house but normally I am walking but stupid me decided to take the car a police stopped me and took me to the police station where I blew to the big machine and it was 80 in the breath still cant believe I done it its like the worst nightmare. I was firs time and I can tell you and last time. Absolutely terrified because I read ended in the prison can you please tell me if someone in here had same or similar experience? cant stop crying because cant belive how stupid I was. Nothing happend that night I didn't hit anything or didn't injure anyone the most lucky. Im just terrified I have a court in month and my stomach is one big shrink stomach.....I just cant be more sorry for anything else.Evening all
I honestly don’t know what to get from this but I have read through some of the forums and I’m just looking for some guidance, support and light.
I was charged yesterday for driving under the influence and my breath test was 42.02. They have said I have to wait on my court date which could be from now to well over a year -2 years due to Covid and the courts being so behind and stacked. I don’t remember them reading me the charges or even it all only parts and this evening is the only time I’ve moved from the same spot since I got released and brought home because I’m still in shock at my stupidity. The officers were brilliant with me, really calming, reassuring and they said they will be putting in the report about how well mannered, cooperative, polite and apologetic & distressed regarding it. They handed my keys back to me late last night and said not to worry and put it at the back or my mind as I can still drive as I have not been convicted and it could be a long time till this happens. I have spoken to a criminal lawyer and he says I will get 12 month ban (9 if do the course, which I will) and a fine, do you get points on your license too? He didn’t specify this? I accept full liability and I will accept the punishment to come for my stupidity but why can’t I stop crying and feel like I’ll never get through this? I’ve never been in trouble with the law, no previos driving incidents not even a parking ticket, I was terrified being in the process room and the whole process of it all and I still am I’m traumatised. I won’t be touching drink ever again, it's ruined my life. I work in childcare as a teaching assistant and I’m terrified I lose my job now because I will have a criminal record (I am sssc & pvg checked, I’m in Scotland). I think I’m just looking for reassurance that there is life after this, you can work in childcare still and my whole career I’ve had for 18 years is not going to taken from me because I made the biggest mistake of my life and I will suffer for the rest of my life. My mental health isn’t the best at times and I’m on medication for it especially anxiety, I want the court to be quick but it’s not looking likely as the officers said. If it’s in a year or over then I could have “done my time” by then but instead I could be having to wait over the ban time to then be convicted later than the actual incident if that makes sense. Does the embarrassment end? Does the tears end? Any advice anyone

Thank you very much for this message... Honestly I feel like shite. Even spoke today with one solicitor over the phone because I don't understand very much of Scottish law. and he was nice over the phone but again said there is possibility of prison or home prison. which I hope it will be not the case as I need to work to make sure I have for rent ...etc because I live by myself. But thank you
I hate to say this but I suspect he only said that because he wants you to pay him lots of money. If he says you may go to prison and then ensures you don't, it makes him look good and worth the money.
well he said he got fix price £450 and will do all for it for me not ending in prison. I think its pricy but I try look out for lawers but so far not luck. honestly I will through forum and again thank you
Don’t beat yourself up, you didn’t kill or hurt anyone. There’s tens of thousands of people arrested each year for the same thing, and none of us even slightly compare to a lot of nasty people out there deliberately doing bad things and hurting people.
thank you so much.I just cant stop stressing about it
