“The number of people arrested for drink driving shows little signs of reduction, and with recent news of celebrities being arrested for the offence we are constantly reminded of the impact that a conviction would have. The reality is that an allegation of driving with excess alcohol can be difficult for the Prosecution to prove in the Magistrates Court unless all of the procedures have been followed correctly. A specialist driving solicitor can take detailed instructions which may include back calculations for alcohol consumption, spiked drinks and even identity issues. All of these areas can be explored to see whether the offence can be defended or a disqualification avoided.

The Courts are still using stringent sentencing guidelines for the drink driving offences which can range from disqualification to community service to custody. The level of alcohol in your system can be one factor considered by the Courts along with the circumstances of the offence.
