Jail for 172mph Porsche motorist
The fastest driver ever caught in a routine speed check in the UK has been sentenced to 10 weeks in jail.

Timothy Brady, 33, of Earls Crescent, Harrow, north-west London, pleaded guilty at Oxford Crown Court to dangerous driving.

Brady was clocked at 172mph in a Porsche 911 Turbo in a 70mph zone on the A420 in Oxfordshire on 27 January.

He was banned from driving for three years and will have to take an extended driving test to get another licence.

He denied another charge of aggravated vehicle taking.

The court heard Brady had taken the Porsche from luxury car hire firm Helphire, where he worked as a delivery driver.

He had nagged his boss to let him drive the sports car and had been repeatedly told no, but the court heard Brady took the car out the next day.

Judge David Morton Jack said to Brady in court: "Your driving was criminally self-indulgent and utterly thoughtless of the danger you might be creating for the innocent." Read Article

This is bad and sucks at the same time, bad for driving that fast that could cause accidents, and sucks that why make fast cars when you can't drive them?

Haha I onced reached 250kmh/155mph in my M5 in a new highway that was being built at that time here where there was no radars. But the road was totally empty.

Back in my dumber years I was clocked at 155 in a 50 in my old 85 745i. But I have matured much more since then. The Air Force punished the hell out of me for that and needless to say I learned my lesson big time!

Its not about the speed, its about the way my M5 got there.. amazing power. If it wasnt for the limiter who knows how much my speed would have been.

Another reason why some professional race car drivers are actually afraid to drive amoung the public.

A highly competant car doesn't automatically make you a great driver.

What a jerkoff.

"A highly competent car doesn't automatically make you a great driver."

There are millions of people that should see this stamped on their foreheads every time they look in the rear view mirror!
