My son was driving on the motorway to see us when he crashed his car, writing it off by driving into a barrier on the hard shoulder. He's honestly not sure what happened but thinks he may have fallen asleep. He only remembers the impact and what happened after. The police attended and got him to the service station and his car was towed away by his insurance company. He said the police were very caring etc and he wasn't breathalysed or drugs tested and no mention was made of him being charged or possibly charged with anything.
He has now bern advised by letter l think as only just heard this from him that they are investigating him for dangerous driving.
Nobody including him was injured and he was alone in the car and no other cars involved.
He is genuinely he says and he is an honest lad (hence telling police he may gave fallen asleep) not sure whether he sneezed(had a very heavy cold),blacked out skidded or what.
He is beside himself,as going through an awful accrimonious divorce involving access to his child, (which admitedly is affecting him being able to sleep well)has just been told he may be being made redundant and have to move out of his temporary accommodation. I am so worried about him and l am fairly sure he would not survive prison and could not do his job without driving or travel to see his child.
Can anyone tell me how likely in above circumstances he is to lose his licence or worse be jailed Sorry its so long.
