Safe Speed Forums

Surely it would simply confirm the present view that speed alone is insufficient as evidence of dangerous driving? A sort of 'heads we win; tails we don't lose' situation.

we talked about this case quite a lot in the lulls between cases in motoring courts.

The fear expressed by CPS lawyers was that it would lead to an increase in the number of people prepared to drive at that sort of speed, who would then put forward an IAM pass - or similar - as a defence.

No. This just isn't right. The {sets} are wrong.

If Mark Milton is found guilty of dangerous driving then no degree of training is sufficient to pemit very high speeds in safety. This is the 'CPS win'.

If Mark Milton is NOT found guilty of dangerous driving then high speed alone is not necessarily dangerous. Which is the same as it is now. It hasn't been proved that he would have been guilty WITHOUT his training. This is the CPS 'not losing'.
