Driving Offences

[kong86]

There won't be any point in sorting out a car for work as I'll be fired or forced to quit.

I really hope no one has a go at you, we all make mistakes in life and have "light bulb moments" I hope this is yours.   

Mine for drink driving definitely was, eight years ago now. Wont touch a drop now.

But, you are in a situation, i lost my job following my disqo and to be honest i would get a solicitor onboard now, rather than wait, just brief them, get their input and wait !

I can highly, highly recommend mr loophole, he has a team of extremely good people who have got me off before with less minor offences. They are expensive, but, how much will the increased insurance premiums and loss of your job be ! my advice, call them, talk it through, get some immediate advice and wait.

You would be amazed what can be missed !

I will not wish you luck as that would be almost condoning it, but i hope the above helps you somewhat.

Very surprised they gave you the keys back - keep positive mate.

Normally when they give you a breathalizer, by the time you get to the station generally speaking the reading goes up...

As i said, keep postive

They have to give you the keys back ... they don't have a power to keep them - though they do have a power to keep you instead

No, bailed to return on a set date .... the turn around for police is slower than someone paying for it out of their own pocket - we used to have to wait about 4 weeks for the results to come back.  If bail is not cancelled then you appear on the day given ... and will get charged.  Not hearing is not good.  TBH if the independent result was over the police result will be the same. 

The sample is split into two and the test for the police done by an approved lab exactly as you as a driver have the right to pay for ... which the OP did.  There is a list of labs you can use that are approved but the result should be the same regardless of which one you use.

Sad tale I expect many people will fall foul of this Christmas but this has opened my eyes to the truth and I will be very careful because of this story. I have escaped a ban once before for something else, something to do with administration errors, so there is always a little bit of hope.
Let us know how you get on, we all have our fingers crossed for you!

Did you get a solicitor mate ???

Sweet

Issues are always good when going to trial !

I'd be tempted to speak to your employer before court if they are understanding. Try an get a letter from them saying you need your license etc and may loose you job plus some other good character stuff chucked in.
 Get a solicitor or go to court and explain your predicament. I'd be surprised if you get a lengthy ban for 3mg over but it depends on the Magistrate really.
