[2006] EWHC 3448 (Admin)

The defence of duress was excluded from a driver charged with an offence of driving over the limit contrary to the Road Traffic Act 1988 s.5(1)(a) as it was unreasonable for the driver, who had a genuine fear of violence, to continue to drive once she was aware that police had arrived to deal with the threat of violence.
