Motorist jailed for British speeding record

Mon Sep 24, 1:58 PM

LONDON (AFP) - A man caught speeding at a British record of 172 miles (277 kilometres) per hour was jailed for 10 weeks on Monday.

Tim Brady, 33, from Harrow in north-west London, became the fastest person ever caught by a British speed camera for his spin in a 98,000-pound (198,000-dollar, 141,000-euro) 3.6-litre Porsche 911 Turbo in January.

He was clocked by a random speed check near Abingdon in Oxfordshire, southern England, Oxford Crown Court heard. Brady pleaded guilty to one count of dangerous driving.

His speed beat the previous record of 156 mph (251 kph) set by a car dealer in Scotland in 2003.

"Your driving was criminally self-indulgent and utterly thoughtless of the danger you might be creating for the innocent," judge David Morton Jack told Brady.

Besides his jail term, Brady was banned from driving for three years and ordered to pay 474 pounds in costs.

He resigned his job as a delivery driver for a luxury hire car firm following his arrest. He had taken the Porsche from his workplace without permission.

Brady's lawyer John Reilly said his client's high-speed antics were "foolhardy, stupid and done in a moment of weakness."

A spokesman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said after the ruling: "This was an absolutely terrifying piece of driving. Our roads are not race tracks or for breaking speed records.

"Through his own selfishness, in what appears to be a lust for speed, he has completely disregarded the safety of others on the road."

Though the quickest ever caught by a speed trap, Brady is not the fastest person ever convicted for speeding on Britain's roads.

Motorcyclist Daniel Nicks strapped a camcorder to his helmet and filmed himself doing 175 mph in December 2000. When he crashed, police found the camera, played the tape and charged him.

But detectives are still hunting a biker who posted a video on the Internet of him speeding on a wet mountain pass road in low light at 176 mph.

Yes it is necessary.....it is a descriptor, otherwise it is ambiguous as to who or what the story is about.

Examples of other thread titles in "Main Street"

1) OJ's girlfriend
2) Kato confesses up
3) Tommy Lee vs. Kid Rock for $5 million?
4) Halloween costumes

Without the descriptor, the above examples would become ambiguous.

1) Girlfriend
2) Confesses up
3) Doe1 vs. Doe2 for $5 million?
4) Costumes

Except for the fact that the descriptors you mention are actually describing what everyone thinks they are describing before opening the thread.... the thread about OJ's girlfriend was referring to OJ Simpson, not big pimpin's drug dealer OJ Thompson.

better to be ambiguous than intentionally deceptive.... preferably, it would be better to be accurate

Don't be absurd.

People outside of Korea have heard of the Brady Bunch.

Hence, they could be thinking it was either Mr. Mike Brady, Mrs. Carol Brady, Greg, Peter, Bobby, Marcia, Jan or Cindy.

AH.....that is why it is best to keep an open mind at all times.

See where the story takes you....."Let the chips fall where they may" if you will.

yes.... in which case you were still being ambiguous by providing a non-descriptive descriptor

If I had used "Tim Brady".....people would think that it was a typo.

Now I am totally confused.

You could have just used "Man jailed...." instead of "Brady jailed..."

This is how news outlets report headlines about people who are not recognized by name. If a guy named Kevin Johnson, who lives in Seattle and has no media status whatsoever (i.e. average joe), commits a murder.... the headline the next day does not say "Johnson kills 3 in murderous rage".... instead it would read "Seattle man kills 3 in murderous rage"
