Drink driving second offence!

[percysc]

I have just been charged with drink driving for the second time. First time i recieved a 16 month ban for crashing into a hedge. This was 4 years 2 months ago when the offemce happened. This time i crashed into a foot bridge at around 3.am on sat night, i left the scene with my partner, we both had slight injuries from the windscreen. I blew 63mg the police arrested me at my house about 1 mile away about 2 hours after. I was interviewed admitted i have drove the car but couldnt remembr the crash otr getting home, i told police i had 4-6 pints throught the night before this happened but thought ok to drive. I have been banned before for 12 months for no insurance other than that, it was whats stated above. What is my likely sentence to be?

You say you have a binge drinking problem.

Can you say why the rest of us should have to put up with the possible consequences of that when you decide it is OK to drive after a binge session?

I think you should never drive again unless you become T-Total and remain so for a long period.

You seem to be only concerned with what might happen to you now. Sod the rest of us who might get maimed or killed because of your stupidity!.

Thanks for your advise New judge, im not proud of whats happened, but it helps to get some proper answers to my question. I take it you study law then?

[Rollo]

Yes, ignore all comments that make you feel uncomfortable.

You are lucky I won't be on the bench when you appear.

[New Judge]

No, percy, I do not study law.

Most of this stuff is available to the public if you know where to look. But I also have some dealings with this type of thing in the course of some work I undertake from time to time.

Glad I could help. Although I make my opinions known on AB when questions of opinion are raised, in matters like this (where a simple question is posed) I try not to be judgemental, despite my name!

You should count yourself lucky that you didn't hurt anyone let alone kill anybody.

What kind of an idiot are you?

Seeing as you've clearly not learnt from your first 'mistake' then you don't deserve a license.

Public transport for you for life, I say.

percy:

I'm certainly not going to give you sympathy - not that you've asked for it - but I think that certain replies here are totally OTT.

I wonder just how "whiter than white" all those "outraged" people are? I'm not, even if drinking and driving hasn't been one of my "misdemeanours". Nor have I ever been arrested, but it doesn't mean to say I'm an angel, does it?

[pinktwink]

i think a custodial sentence is warranted you are clearly a risk to society and did not learn before. What if that bridge had been someones daughter, son etc and you just walked away. Not only is a repeat offence but no seatbelt for your gf you should be banned for life

[ConfusedCH]

Short and sweet, hard luck it's your own bloody fault. Grow up and stop being such a twit before you injure or even kill someone.
If it were up to me you'd NEVER get your license back because your clearly not mature enough to be a safe driver.

You should contact Alcoholics Anonymous. You can find their number in the phone book.
Whatever sentence the court hands you won't be enough.

Well done New Judge for actually answering the question and not preaching.

The blokes done wrong, knows he's going to pay for it end of story.

[ConfusedCH]

Suppose you'd rather slap his fingers and send him on an African Safari would you?
Maybe if more people had given him a piece of their mind the first time, it might have shamed him into NOT doing it again.

[JimmyCooper]

Lol at Confused

In case you hadnt noticed he has already committed the offence.

halfwit

[ConfusedCH]

Yep, and who knows maybe 3rd time unlucky thanks to people like you that make excuses for idiots like this.
