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

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.

In a short appearance at Oxford Crown Court, Brady pleaded guilty to one count of dangerous driving.

His plea of not guilty to one count of aggravated vehicle-taking was accepted by the Crown Prosecution Service and he will be sentenced next month.

172MPH? ...That's the normal pace on the Kennedy inbound lanes at 2am!

That's what I was thinking. A police chopper won't hit those speeds. I wonder what caught him or if he was just stopped at a roadblock they set up and he confessed to the speed itself.

at the current exchange rate he was doing US 224 MPH. That's pretty serious.
