    If the alcohol is no longer in your system, they cannot charge you with drink driving as they need evidence, but they can charge you with the offence of failing to stop or report and accident which is just as serious. The fine is up to the courts, but the maximum is £5000. They can also endorse your licence with 5-10 points issue a ban and they can even imprison you for up to 6 months.

    Insurers know that people who have been drinking often flee the scene, and you will find that when you tell the insurer that you have a conviction like that, they wont offer you cover. You may find the odd one or two who take on high risks, but their prices will be crippling, so I would plan on getting the bus for a few years. At least on the bus, you can't kill innocent road users.

    if you admit you are over the limit you can b band for up to 5years and jail. Driving off after you have crashed that's not good at all. if its your first offence i would bet a Small ban and a fine. offer to do driving courses and b very sorry. I know someone that just had to do his test and a fine that was it

My examining grew to become into 98Mg's on the breath try. I have been given a 2 12 months ban, 18 months probation; and the scientific that i had to pay for. with which you're able to offer a blood try with 0% alcohol in it. So i think of he has come out of this ok.If he grew to become into thrice over tell him to no longer moan approximately it; what ever he gets grew to become into his fault. And that comes from some guy or woman who has completed it myself. deliver this e mail to him in case you go with. Cherrs Pedro. One final ingredient definite to the scientific it extremely is automated for a severe examining like this he gets the records merely in the previous his license comes lower back. I did the drink motive force direction to shorten my ban so i understand somewhat approximately those issues. yet in Scotland is it somewhat differant?
