British driver admits driving at 172 mph

August 24, 2007 

Timothy Brady has admitted to a charge of driving at 172 mph (276.8 kmph) on a British A road. The 33-year-old was caught driving his Porsche 911 on the A420 during a routine speed check by near Oxford. Mr Brady admitted the charge at the hearing taking place at Crown Court. 
Mr Brady was clocked by police on a bridge and was later arrested four miles down the road after police used a car to block the road. 
The speed is thought to be the highest ever recorded on a British road and is 100 mph over the legal limit of 70 mph. Campaigners from Brake, a road safety charity, told the BBC that the offence was "shocking".
