Hi All,
Recently i have been stopped by NZ police for breath alcohol check and unfortunately it was well over the legal limit. NZ police took my car for 12 hours and took me for a breath test at police station. There again i have been tested positive for over the legal limit i.e. 557. I have been given a summon to appear on court by next month. I have the below queries and request for your kind answers:-
1) What will happen next? I asked Police officer, she told me that i will be liable to pay a fine for per $ of the reading 557 in my case and my license will be suspended for six months.
2) I got my RV last year and will apply for PRV next year, will this effect my application?
3) Can i consult lawyer, will it be a good idea?
I regret my decision to drive while consuming alcohol and im ashamed of myself. This is my first offence, i have never been into this situation and had a clean record.
Im very much in stress at the moment.
Thanks
