Here's how it works. You get pulled over for drink/drug driving. You go to the police station for further urine/blood tests. You are sent home on bail pending a court appearance, sometimes several days/weeks after the arrest. You lawyer up. You go to Court and express remorse, regret, apologies all around, it won't happen again and the nice magistrates fine you a few hundred quid, you get a few demerit points on your drivers licence and you are back on the streets again. IF your licence is suspended it happens at the Court hearing and usually applies for excessive speeding or really dangerous driving, usually involving a fatality - but not always.

If you are arrested for DUI then your car can be confiscated there and then, but only until you sober up and lawyer up.

The UK criminal 'justice' system bends over backwards to protect the crims, to always give them the benefit of the doubt, to offer then all sorts of counselling programs, etc etc and the poor fucking victims get NOTHING.
