Understanding Drink Driving Offences
Drink driving is a serious criminal offence in the UK, governed by the Road Traffic Act 1988. The legal alcohol limit for drivers in England is:
-
35 micrograms per 100 millilitres of breath
-
80 milligrams per 100 millilitres of blood
-
107 milligrams per 100 millilitres of urine
Exceeding these limits can lead to severe penalties, including fines, driving bans, and even imprisonment.
Consequences of a Drink Driving Conviction
Being convicted of drink driving can have long-term consequences on your personal and professional life, including:
✔ A driving ban of at least 12 months
✔ A fine of up to £2,500
✔ A criminal record
✔ Increased car insurance premiums
✔ A potential prison sentence for repeat or severe offences
✔ Impact on employment, particularly if driving is essential for your job
Our solicitors for drink driving in Gerrards Cross understand the impact these penalties can have, and we are committed to providing robust legal defence strategies to protect your future.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Avoid a Driving Ban for Drink Driving? In most cases, a driving ban is mandatory for drink driving convictions. However, in exceptional circumstances, such as emergency situations or if a ban would cause severe hardship, we may be able to argue for a reduced penalty. What Happens If I Refuse a Breath Test? Refusing to provide a breath, blood, or urine sample without a reasonable excuse is a separate offence and can lead to harsher penalties, including a longer driving ban and possible imprisonment. How Long Does a Drink Driving Conviction Stay on My Record? A drink driving conviction remains on your record for 11 years and can affect employment opportunities, travel visas, and insurance costs.
