just had a friend on the phone very upset that her partner has been arrested for drink driving this afternoon at 3pm on his way to work for drink driving. he blew 48, over the legal limit of 35 and had not drunk since early hours this morning. he honestly did not realise he would still be over the limit, as has been 12 hours at least since last alcoholic drink. he has a clean license, no points on his license. he has no criminal record. they initially stopped him for being a bit over the speed limit on the motorway and then breathalysed him as procedure. he apparently has eaten lots today and slept in till noon. i know none of that matters, but this would also mean he would lose his job due to living in london and working in reading. any ideas on minimum penalties?
