A man pleaded guilty on Aug. 24 to driving at 277 kilometers per hour in a sports car. He's the fastest car driver ever caught speeding in Britain.
Timothy Brady was caught in a police speed check near Abingdon, south central England, in January this year. He was driving a NT$6.5 million (US$197,000) Porsche 911 Turbo at the time.
The 33-year-old was traveling at 164kph over the national speed limit for a motorway. He pleaded guilty to dangerous driving.
Brady doesn't know his sentence yet. But the judge warned Brady that he's likely to face jail time.
The highest speed police caught a car driver at before Brady is 251kph. The highest speed police ever caught a motorcyclist at is 282kph. The motorcyclist was caught after he filmed himself in the act. Both drivers were jailed.

八月二十四日，英國一名男子承認以高達兩百七十七公里時速駕駛跑車的罪行，創下英國開車超速被抓的最高紀錄。
蒂莫西:布拉迪今年一月在英國中央南區的阿賓登附近被警察抓到超速，他當時正開著一輛價值新台幣六百五十萬元（約十九萬七千美元）的保時捷911 Turbo跑車。
這名三十三歲的男子當時以時速一百六十四公里在路上奔馳，超過英國國家高速公路速限。他坦承危險駕駛的指控。
布拉迪目前還不知道最後的判決，但是法官警告他有可能會面臨監禁。
在布拉迪之前，警方抓到的最高開車超速紀錄為時速兩百五十一公里，重型機車駕駛最高超速為時速兩百八十二公里。該重型機車騎士在錄下自己飆車行為後，遭到警方逮捕。兩位駕駛都因此入獄。
