I agree with dvd, the police must be looking at drink driving and/or dangerous driving.

I'm afraid a ban is inevitable one way or another because both drink driving and dangerous driving carry mandatory disqualification.

You may be able to get out from under the drink driving charge, which would assist you to a limited extent.

Your total immediate penalty may be a little, but not much, less, and not having another drink driving on your record will make your driving rehabilitiation in the coming years easier.

But dangerous driving is a nasty charge, and you will have to take an extended driving test before you can drive again.

Your personal circumstances are strong mitigation, but they also work against you because deliberately driving as you did makes the dangerous driving more serious.

I agree you may as well co-operate with the police, at least to the limited extent of speaking with them to find out what's afoot.

It's a bit early for horse-trading, but the Crown Prosecution Service may accept a guilty plea to dangerous driving in exchange for dropping drink driving, particularly if the drink driving looks technically difficult.

It would be a right result if you could get the whole lot bartered down to careless driving, but I fear the evidence of dangerous driving is too strong.

Some dangerous drivers go to prison, but the usual aggravating factors - police chase, injury to others or damage to their property - are absent.

Your strong mitigating circumstances, and guilty plea if you make one, should mean you avoid immediate custody.

You admit drink driving so just accept the fact you will loose your licence, I find it totally abhorrant when posters admit drink driving and then try to use loopholes to get out of it.

Go to the police station (take a solicitor if you can find one), if you don't you will be arrested. If they have to come for you it will be worse, there will be further chsrges.

If the high number of legal and adminstrative functionaries who try to run this country, at huge cost to us, can't get the laws framed right it is open to us to use their incompetence to our own benefit. Think tax avoidance, may be abhorrent bit is still legal.

So its OK to break the law if there is a way out of it.

That is not the case and I hope you realise that, if not you need educating.

DRINK DRIVING KILLS, at least the OP only injured himself.

Just for the record guys this is a thread from 10 months ago brought back to life by a rather odd 'wannabe mates' post.

Old post or not, if he had killed someone (other than himself) during his drunken suicide attempt he would have been charged with manslaughter at the very minimum.

Wonder what happened to him?
