And for the record the only person who was hurt in the accident was himself and has paid for that by being crippled for the last 5 months, he is not a driver either i asked for your opinions on the sentance not him thank you.

You need to look up the minimum and maximums for where you live.
In most places a second DWI means manditory jail, fines and such. Then add in manditory alchohol awareness classes (costly) and manditory AA.
In most states and combination of three..... DWI, reckless or driving while suspended means they take you license for ten years. He has already hit that.
If just say this does not happen. He will no longer be able to get insurance. He will have to do the whole uninsured driver thing..... costly as well and certain conditions have to be met. Background check for most any job nowdays..... he is done. So you have to think longterm.
The no insurance thing is going to kill him in court. But.... things could be done. He has not been judged guilty for the current charges so he may be able to just pay for whatever if he has past fines. Then show in court w. his license. Maybe with the license (depending) and get insured. Show up in court with that. Take alchohol awareness before court. Start hitting AA. A lot of effort but at this point he is screwed.
All in all a couple of the charges have jail attached. How much is suspended is a crap shoot. Could be a year..... could be 5 months.
Basically he needs to do anything possible which include a really, really good lawyer. The cost without one (or a lousy one) will far exceed the cost down the road of not having one.

Texting is private and intimate. Texting is the perfect way to create a private and intimate world between you and the man or woman in your life. Learn here https://tr.im/M3baX
For women in particular, texting can end up being a fun “game” where they can do or say anything (even things they would never do in the “real” world). Texting is non confrontational. Odds are your relationship ended on a heated note. I don’t know why you and your ex broke up, but there was probably at least one (if not a few dozen) big fights. Done properly (the way I’m going to teach you), texting is simple and subtle. You can slowly feed your ex tested and proven messages and ideas without the risk of either one of you flying off the handle, falling back into old and destructive patterns, and throwing plates at each other.

It's likely that he will go to prison for at least a month.
Why shouldn't he go to prison? The courts have got to get him off the road somehow for the sake of keeping other people safe. There's no excuse for drink-driving (twice!), causing an accident which may have traumatised other people, damaged their property or caused injuries and not having a licence or insurance which makes it really for anyone whose property he's damaged to get their costs paid.
His best chance for a low sentence is to plead guilty and sound really sorry.

In the UK a second DR10 is usually good for a three year driving ban - however as he drives without a licence I assume he won't be much bothered about obeying that.
I think it unlikely (regrettably) that he will go to jail as, other than the DR10, the other offence codes (CD10, LC10, IN10) will normally incur points and fines.
Make sure that he is being prosecuted for Careless driving NOT reckless/ dangerous driving. reckless driving has a much greater penalty.

The prisons are overfilled and this may just be the only reason that your boyfriend will not be awarded a custodial sentence. Your boyfriend is totally irresponsible and he obviously has not learned from his first drink driving offence. What will it take for him to learn from his mistake - to cause the death of some innocent victim ? ? ? There will be no going back should this happen. He gets no sympathy from me I'm afraid. I've see, first hand the misery that drink drivers cause to families who have lost loved ones. Rant over. ! ! ! !

Depends what part of the court process this is. It sounds like maybe a prelim? Also this might be a felony depending how many other DUIs he has in the past. He obviously doesn't get it since this is not his first. It sounds like he didn't hurt anyone which is a good thing. Sounds like some jail time would probably do him some good.

"n.b. - he wasn't driving whilst banned" I dont believe that he wasn't driving whilst banned - I think he was driving whilst banned, he just didn't get caught driving whilst banned, he got caught after his ban had expired and not before it. Or do you seriously think that anyone with half a brain cell would really think that your boyfriend didn't drive whilst banned, waited until it has expired and then decided to start driving illegally? Or would they think he has always been driving illegally? I can assure you the magistrate will have more than half a brain cell and decide he has been driving throughout his ban, but didn't get caught. Your boyfriend obviously hasn't learnt his lesson - do you have a driving licence? only prisons can be tricky places to get to on public transport

Drunk, no licence, no insurance and a past record?? Sorry hunny, he is going to jail and I'm afraid to say deservedly so!!
One of my best friends lost both his parents in the space of a few years to drunk drivers, I think you need to get a boyfriend that can treat you and others with more respect.

Given that your dick head boy friend has ticked all the boxes, then he will probably be looking at 3 months jail time. Along with this he will probably get a two year ban and a £1000 fine.
Dump him before he drags you down to his level.

A great way to get your ex back is https://tr.im/9Qvip
They might realize they need you and come crawling back!
If you do get back together, don't let the same issues that destroyed your relationship crop up again. Have a good, long talk about how you're both going to make it right this time.
