A man pleaded guilty on Friday to driving at 277km/h in a high-performance sports car on a public road, making him the fastest motorist ever caught speeding in Britain.
Timothy Brady was caught driving a £98 000 Porsche 911 Turbo in a random police speed check on a trunk road near Abingdon, south central England, in January this year.
He pleaded guilty to one count of dangerous driving when he appeared for an administrative hearing at Oxford Crown Court. His not-guilty plea to a separate charge of aggravated vehicle taking was accepted by prosecutors.
Sentencing was adjourned until next month but the judge warned Brady, from Harrow, just north of London, that he was likely to face a jail sentence. — AFP
