Drink Driving

These are amongst the more serious cases and can in certain circumstances attract imprisonment as well as the (mandatory) disqualification from driving; a prosecution can be brought on the basis of alcohol content in your breath, blood or urine, as well as a refusal to supply a specimen without reasonable excuse; a prosecution can also be brought if it is alleged that you were 'in charge' of a stationary vehicle with excess alcohol in your system; it is vital that you first seek advice from us whilst at the police station in case of this type.

In cases where you have been charged and where you wish to plead 'not guilty' it is imperative that you seek advice abnd representation from us; we can identify areas of weakness in the prosecution's case and advise you about them; we can advise you about how your case can best be presented and about the evidence (expert or otherwise) that will be needed in support of your case.

In cases where you wish to plead guilty (or are found guilty) we can offer mitigation to the court on your behalf; in serious cases, the court will consider custody as well as a disqualification from driving and in some, less serious cases, we are able to persuade the court to offer you the opportunity of attending a 'drink drivers rehabilitation course' - the effect of this is that the period of your disqualification will be reduced by 25%.
