[bluefortress]

Do you think he will get off a bit more lightly because he did himself in?

very public spirited, he'll still get 12 months ban.

....actually with that reading probably more than 12 months!

I used to know a guy, now deceased, who got so drunk when he drove home he stopped and parked up and got a cab because he said the road was narrowing in on him and he didn't think the car would fit down the road!

I think he panicked and at the time thought the immediate help was more vital than the repercussions.
 

In the midst of a panic attack people resort to anything to feel safer.

Yes, probably - still commensurate with the offence, but at the lighter end of the range.

The same sort of thing has just happened on Coronation Street- Simon has handed himself in at the police station
