Drink Driving

When do you get an automatic ban. If you have tested as having 55 miliwhatsits and I think you are allowed only 35 now, would it be an automatic ban?

Eeeerrrr yes

Anything over the limit is a ban

[waltekar]

Thanks your info Reverandfunk.

No probs

With the majority of driving offences there can be mitigating circumstances that may lead to some leniancy but as far as I know when you get done for DD it is always a ban and you will be in court within days of the offence happening.

It will probably be a year, which can be reduced to 9 months if you go on a course.

You will not be prosecuted if you are under 39mg...between 39 and 50 you have to be offered the chance to replace your breath specimen with blood or urine (the choice of which being the police officer's). Anything over that, you've had it I'm afraid...

yes, I got banned about 15yrs ago for having 52 miliwhatsits (about 3/4 of a pint too much)
