The first time I had a serious accident with my car, I saw my life going before me. I was fine but my body was trembling after the accident. I saw a pub, I went there and drank 2 whisky straight. It was just what i needed to stop my body from shaking, and get my ideas clearer again and be able to deal with the situation.
Alcohol really is a miraculous substance
- jon-wood 3y agoSomewhat unfortunate when the police do a routine breathalyser test an hour later though.
- pgalvin 3y agoOn the contrary, it can provide a defence. “You have a defence if you can convince the court that you drank the alcohol in question after you had driven and that you were not over the limit whilst you were driving.”[1] With that said, your BAC can be estimated from whatever you prove you drank after the accident, which would reveal a discrepancy. Not a reliable way to get away with a terrible crime. [1] https://www.pattersonlaw.co.uk/faqs/drink-driving-leaving-scene-accident/ https://www.pattersonlaw.co.uk/faqs/drink-driving-leaving-sc...
