Fastest Ever Speeder Caught

"A motorist has pleaded guilty to driving at 172mph on a rural A-road, making him the fastest speeder ever caught in Britain".

i bet he'll get at least 6 months inside.

Yahoo headline
'A motorist has pleaded guilty to driving at 172mph on a rural A-road, making him the fastest speeder ever caught in Britain.

(Advertisement)
Tim Brady, 33, was caught in a random speed check on the A420 near Abingdon, Oxfordshire, driving a £98,000 3.6-litre Porsche 911 Turbo in January this year.

The current highest speed to result in a conviction is 156mph.'
He resigned from the car hire firm he worked for on the next day!!

Previously a UK WRC ST205 & a CS (UK !*%)
Now.... a 1970 Triumph 13/60 convertible, a Hyindai Amica and a Honda CR-Z Hybrid :)

I managed 165 (on the speedo) in a tuned MA70 on an erm abandoned road, I mean airstrip officer. It still had a bit left but started taking a while to creep up.

yeah he got caught, but i dont think he was going fast when they saw, just enough to catch their attention. it was the vid that did it. he was told never to bring that car back into the country again. lol

think they did prosecute him, fined him, and banned him. i think he may have been jailed for a short while im not sure. something like 2 weeks.

Only if he hadnt killed your parents while up to his antics.... Theres driving fast and theres taking the P on a public road with other living things around. Drive fast if conditions allow, i dont think any conditions other than a track allow 180mph :)

Think im getting old...lol
