[2007] EWHC 3274 (Admin)

A man who drove while under the influence of drink because he believed that he was going to be beaten up after receiving a threatening telephone call could not rely on the defence of duress of circumstances because by the time he was stopped by the police he was not being pursued and there were no grounds for him to think that he was being pursued.
