Those found guilty of driving under the influence could face imprisonment, a ban from driving or a fine.

The penalty you are given will depend on the magistrates who hear the case, and the details of your offence.

Drivers caught can also reduce a ban, that is at least 12 months, by taking a drink-drive rehabilitation course if it is offered by the court.

The drink-drive limit in England is 35 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath.
