LONDON, Sept. 24 (UPI) -- Britain's fastest speeder ever, who was caught going 172 miles-per-hour, was banned from driving for three years and sentenced to 10 weeks in jail.
Tim Brady, 33, was caught in a random speed check while driving his nearly $200,000 3.6-litre Porsche 911 Turbo in January, London's Daily Mail reported.
The previous record for the highest speed resulting in a conviction was 156mph.
Brady was sentenced Monday at the Oxford Crown Court, where he pleaded guilty to one count of dangerous driving last month.
He also resigned from his job at car lease firm Helphire, where he got the Porsche.
