The BBC reports that the famous Mark Milton '159mph cop' case has once again been returned to the magistrates court for re-hearing.

Paul Smith, founder of safespeed.org.uk said: "Every time this case comes up it does serious damage to the police public relationship and serious damage to police driver training and operations."

"It's bad for justice, bad for Mark Milton, bad for the police/public relationship, bad for road safety and bad for police driving. The CPS must stop this ridiculous game of court ping pong - it's hurting all of us."

"As for Mark Milton receiving a fair trial, clearly that has become impossible due to media coverage."
