This morning I went to court. In fact I went twice. At 9:30 this morning I had a hearing for leaving the scene of an accident, which involved 5 points on my licence and a hefty £400 fine. "That's not too bad" I hear you chorus, but it is, especially since I didn't do anything wrong.
****blurry flashback screen, cut to November 3rd at approx 10pm****
I was driving home from a friend's house down dark country lanes in the rain and a bloke drove into the side of me at about 65mph and then drove off. I didn't have my phone on me so I drove a mile to get home and call the police. They took three hours to arrive, by which time my fiancé and I had drunk a bottle of wine. I was arrested immediately and spent the night in a cell on suspicion of driving under the influence, the next morning they took a statement from me and I was released on bail.

What exactly was I supposed to do in that situation? I live in the sticks; there is nothing but trees and more trees. Like I said, I didn't have my phone on me and had no other way of contacting the police, did they really just expect me to sit in my car and hope that someone else drove past? So now, I have 5 points and I am £400 poorer, which is a real shame because that money was supposed to go towards flying to Australia to see my brother, now I can't go and its the policeman's fault. I'm going to go on a giant bitch slapping spree, starting at Maidstone po po station and ending at the Magistrates court (granted they are next door to each other, but everyone I need to bitch slap would be there).
At 12:30pm I was in court again, but this time I was testifying against my ex boyfriends pikey whore mother that attacked me a while back. IT WAS THE SAME JUDGE. He kept looking at me disapprovingly and she got away with the ABH charge and was fined £40 for drunken disorderly. What the hell is up with the justice system down here?

Read it properly you fucking spastics. Also, just to clarify, I have never ever ever got into my car drunk, I would never put anyone elses life at risk like that.

Horseshit, I believe you were arrested but your story is utter horseshit.
1. If someone impacted your car at 65mph only a couple of things could come of that
a. you die
b. your vehicle would have been disabled, as well as his
2. Even if you were hit by another person who fled the scene, you would have called the cops as soon as you got home. You would have been seriously pissed that your car was messed up, and would not have started drinking. Not to mention the fact that you would have alot of 'splaining to do to your fiance, bank, insurance co. etc.
3. Even if you were too stupid or "shaken up" to realize that you should call the cops, your fiance would have.
Obviously what happened is that you got lit up by your friends house. Drove drunk, and either hit another automobile or someones personal property. You then at least had the sense to drive home and then with the help of your fiance you concocted this bullshit story. Obviously they didnt hvae a case for DUI, but at least they made you sit in jail, and gave you a decent fine.
The moral of the story is DONT DRIVE DRUNK YOU STUPID CUNT YOU COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONES FAMILY

The best time to report a car accident is when you're driving drunk.

I was convicted for leaving the scene of the accident after the other guy had done just the same.
>>two wrongs...
I was put in a cell over night because they had accused me of DUI, with no proof.
>>then sue for unlawful arrest. That might reduce that fine a little.
This was not supposed to be held against me because there was no proof, but I feel it was.

If this story is true then you handled the situation about as badly as it was possible to handle, no doubt you were a difficult bugger when the police came round as well.
If this story isn't true, then there's too many gaps and there's no punchline.

I call shenanigans. One, the police can't do you for suspected driving under the influence. WTF? There is no way that would fly.
Furthermore - where was the other person? The police would be confronted with one person who rang them and said 'my wife and I are shaken up - we've just drank a bottle of wine between us - but it's still an awful shock - why didn't he stop?'
Also, they can't prosecute with a breathalyser. They have to do a blood or urine test to stand up in court.

You are a bad liar. I could see through your bullshit story from here. Obviously, the court did too.

ok it was retarded of you to decide that, while waiting for police, polishing off a bottle of wine was a good idea.

Because there were two empty glasses and an empty bottle in my kitchen when they turned up, which OBVIOUSLY means I was drinking before I got home.

If someone had driven into the side of your car at 65mph I'm pretty sure you'd need a drink too.
-------------------
That's no excuse. You, rather unfortunatly, left the police no other o-
Why did they decide to breathalise you? Why did they take that action?

What the fuck? You want them to take your word for it?
You shouldn't have had a drink, I mean just how dodgy do you want to look?
