A police constable who reached 159mph on a motorway has been cleared of speeding and dangerous driving.
Pc Mark Milton, 38, from Telford, Shropshire, was recorded by the patrol car’s video camera on the M54 in 2003, Ludlow Magistrates’ Court heard.District Judge Bruce Morgan acquitted him after calling the constable the “creme de la creme” of police drivers.
Pc Milton is trained in advanced driving and was “familiarising himself” with a new car, the court was told.
Not the first time we have seen one rule for them another for us, I am sure that having had ‘rally’ training and driven on a trackday, that I could claim to have specialist training, however, if I was to ‘familiarise’ my self with my new cars top speed that unlike lucky old Pc Milton, i would be headed straight to jail, do not past go, do not collect £200.
