[2002] EWHC 1638 (Admin)

Where the respondent had relied on the defence of necessity on the basis that he had driven with excess alcohol in order to buy medicine for his ill daughter, there was either no risk of serious harm, or, if the risk was such, a bottle of medicine would not have alleviated that risk and the defence of necessity was not established.
