Default Banned for 12 months

Yesterday I was banned from driving for 12 months for drink driving on a camp site.

In June last year I attended a E30 BMW car show. A few of the members were doing doughnuts in a open space at the back of the field. someone decided to join in with them in my car , and after a few minutes they saw a few security vans driving over so they quickly drove off and parked my car behind a load of tents, and then ran off. I could see the other drivers had been caught by the security.

It was 23:00 on a Saturday

I went to my vehicle about half an hour later. When I went to my vehicle the security were with the police and I was arrested. I blew a 45 on the breath test, but I said I was not driving. Another e30 member had phoned the security as people had woken him up.

He pointed me out to the security saying I was driving.

He lives near new market cambridgeshire and every time he drove to Northampton for the following.

16 days later he went to the police to give a statement.

2 months later he went to a I.D parade.

In September someone from the club offered a couple of grand for the car club for him not go to court.

I then went to court in November. 2 police men walked in the court and arrested me for intimidating a witness. (let out on bail)

Returned for bail in December and bailed again.

Arrested again in January for trying to pervert the course of justice and bailed again.

In February receive a letter (perverting the course of justice dropped)

Yesterday went to court and there was 1 security guard and the e30 member as witnesses and was found guilty.

12 month ban and £1000



It just goes to show how people are willing to go out their way to do you over.

I Know I was going to fit a YB into my E30, But I do not think I deserve this.
