Questão jurídica principal
Whether excess speed can be justified by necessity because the driver needed medication to avoid severe health consequences.
Decisão extraída
No. A person who knows that regular medication is necessary and risks serious health problems if it is missing must take all necessary precautions to avoid running out of medication; necessity does not justify speeding in these circumstances.
Fundamentação extraída
The court considered that the danger arose from the person's own failure to organize timely access to medication. The legal state of necessity requires an unavoidable emergency, which was not present here.
