I f'ed up, big style

[jjiimmyyt 0]

So got caught by the cops, over the limit by 3 times, going to lose my license for 18 months at least.

Before everyone has a massive go at me,

I know i was stupid
i know i was dangerous,
I know now i cant visit my relatives as much as i would have.

In short, I f'ed up, my own fault, don't deserve any sympathy, but I am so pissed off at myself.

I'm glad the cops caught me before I had a chance to hurt/kill anyone. i deserve the punishment i'm going to get.

But i'm still pissed off.

Well, sounds like you learned your lesson. And it seems to be one that you will not soon forget.

The best lessons are those that come the hardest.

i nevr thought I would, always said a taxi home was cheaper than a license, but then a few drinks, people I hadn't seen for a few years,...

Going to lose my job, my famiily are going to be pissed and dissapointed,

but my own fault, and at least I got stopped before i caused an accident.

Just glad that like you said, you and no one else was harmed. Glad you're still alive, healthy and smart enough to learn from it all. Take care.

Please feel free to reply to my posts and pm's, but only if you're smart enough to understand what they really mean.

Is this the first time this has happened? Will the judge take into account that it's the first time? I'm don't know the laws in regard to drunk driving.

its the first, and the last. In Jersey (Indepedant of UK but affialated) our legal system isn't so fucked you can get a lawyer to argue the charge away (I've seen the adverts in the USA).

On Monday afternoon, I will stand up, make my case, which is really none.

I will apologise, thank the police that charged me, and take it on the chin like a man.

Not even speeding, i have really bad night vision so didn't notice that my lights were not on when i left the car park (i do this when sober all the time) due to the sodium lights above. 15ft later get pulled for no light, 1st thing i said was 'Officer, I am over the limit, can I have a last ciggie now?'

Superman.....I am going to educate you on how to reply to the right people in a post, cause it wasn't me that was in question on this thread.

When you want to ask a question to a person in a thread, hit the reply on that person's post.

Thanks Now people won't be lost.

Oh well, dress nicely for court. You'll probably be seeing her again there.

Good luck, and glad you and everyone else are okay. It's a tough lesson.

This advice was given to me by several lawyers....just glad no one was hurt .

I'm guessing this'll cost you in the neighborhood of $7,000, not counting the possibility of probation and/or the hellish insurance premiums you'll be paying.

Plus, unless you're in a city with good public transit, commuting to work will suck...

But I am glad you did not hurt anyone.

Well, that depends.. I know that in many places you have agreed at some point in your licensing process that you agree to be tested for BAC if requested.. By not allowing your BAC to be tested your license will be automaticly suspended regardless since you are not complying with what you have already agreed to.. It can be just as painful, and they will get the BAC from you eventually anyway (doesnt take them long to get what's required to get evidence these days) . You can however request a blood draw vs. the blow test in most places......

Not in the UK.

From the UK's Department of Transport:

The penalty for refusing to provide a specimen of breath, blood or urine for analysis is a maximum 6 months' imprisonment, up to £5000 fine and a driving ban of at least 12 months.

Calling a lawyer will get you precisely nowhere.

Depends on where you are. In TN, you consent to a breathalyzer by accepting your drivers license. If you refuse, you will be arrested and fined, I forget how much, but A LOT. More than it would cost to get a DUI. Plus you'll still get a DUI.
Its all messed up.

edit: OK I didnt read Nate's post before I posted. But he's right! And I know this because I spent all day yesterday in defensive driving cause I need to slllooooooowwwwww dowwwwwwwwwwn!

The two states I know of were it's better not to blow are Texas and Florida....if you're ever in florida pick up the yellow pages and look at all of the ad's...heck they even have TV commercials for DUI lawyers
