In New York, Is There a DWI Defense of Justification?
In New York, there are very narrow circumstances where you can argue that you were justified in driving while intoxicated. Examples of justification may include (i) if you were forced to drive while intoxicated under emergency circumstances such as a danger to your life; and (ii) if the police made you drive when you otherwise would not have.
