If you do so you may still be convicted of the offence as charged, and it is possible that the sentence passed will be worse due to your lack of cooperation. Your criminal solicitor can advise you on this. The police are allowed to stop you if they have reasonable grounds to believe you are committing, or may be about to commit, an offence. Such circumstances will vary but might include where you have admitted to having been out at a pub or restaurant, where you are returning from a party, or if you are demonstrating physical or behavioural signs. At Christmas there is a higher incidence of drink-driving and at that time of year random spot checks are common. The police will always check your alcohol intake if they believe you have been involved in a road traffic accident. For the offence of being in charge of a vehicle, you may be stopped if the police believe you are about to commit an offence. This might include situations where you are walking to your car with the keys, or attempting entry to your vehicle. It may also include situations where you are in the car when drunk. Your solicitor can advise you on such circumstances although they are open to interpretation. The maximum penalty for drink driving is a £5000 fine, up to 6 months in prison, and a 12-36 month driving ban.
