Sorry to be thick, but what's this all about?

cop who got done for 159mph 'testing' his driving skills has now been cleared!

Grade 1 advanced driver PC Milton tested a souped-up cop car — a 3.2 litre Vauxhall Vectra GSi — just after midnight around Telford, Shropshire, where he is based.

He had not driven it before and was “familiarising” himself with its handling so he would know how to use it safely in an emergency.

An on-board camera recorded he hit 159mph on the M54 and was still doing 120mph as he came off on a slip road.

He reached 125mph on the A41, 137mph on the A5 and even did 100mph on a minor road, the B5060.

Personally I don't see anything inherently wrong with those speeds, in the right hands, but on what grounds did the court decide that he should be cleared?

Judge Morgan, sitting in Ludlow, ruled he had not posed a threat to pedestrians or other motorists.

He said “skilled” PC Milton, a married dad, was driving when most people were in bed.

He added: “He knew very few people would be on the road. In fact, the roads were utterly deserted.”

So, how come WE can still get done by after midnight doing a couple of mph above the limit then?

The answer seems obvious to me.

There are circumstances where a traffic policeman should be permitted to drive a car above the speed limit. There are no circumstances where anyone else should be permitted to do so.

BTW, how many times has there been a prosecution when the speed limit was exceeded by "a couple of mph"?

One of our local cameras regularly 'does people' for 33mph...!

Of course...but not at 159mph in that circumstance.

He did it of his own volition (not under training/supervision), and is no better than anyone else who goes for a spin thinking...'let's see what she can really do'..
