Drunk in Charge

Drunk in Charge

Protecting Your Position in “In Charge” Offences

You can be charged with being “drunk in charge” of a vehicle even if you were not driving at the time. This offence typically arises where a person is found in or near a vehicle while over the legal alcohol limit and is deemed capable of driving.

Drunk in Charge

At Thomas Boyd Whyte Solicitors, we understand that these cases often involve misunderstandings or specific circumstances, such as waiting in a vehicle without any intention to drive. Our legal team will carefully examine the facts and present your case effectively.

We will work to demonstrate, where possible, that there was no likelihood of you driving while over the limit, which can be a key defence in such cases.

If you are facing a drunk in charge allegation, contact Thomas Boyd Whyte Solicitors for prompt legal advice.
