A motorist caught travelling at 172mph on an Oxfordshire dual carriageway has been jailed for ten weeks. Timothy Brady, 33, a courtesy driver for a car rental company, was driving a £98,000, 3.6litre Porsche 911 Turbo on the A420 near Abingdon when he exceeded the national speed limit by 102mph. He was trapped by a police constable using a speed gun from a nearby bridge. It is the highest speed ever recorded in a British trap. “Your driving was criminally self-indulgent and utterly thoughtless of the danger you might be creating for the innocent,” said Judge David Morton Jack, sentencing Brady at Oxford Crown Court yesterday. He was banned from driving for three years and ordered to pay court costs. Brady, of Harrow, northwest London, took the black Porsche without permission from his employers, the court was told.
