BMW'S UK finance director has been jailed for six weeks for lying to police after being clocked at 101mph on Oxford's Eastern bypass.
Thomas Moser, of Poets Place, Banbury Road, Oxford, was caught at 7.08am on May 4 by a speed enforcement van. The legal limit on the road is 50mph.
He was driving a BMW-owned Mini, Banbury magistrates' court was told.
Moser, a German national, said his son Maximilian was driving at the time of the offence. He continued to name his 19-year-old son despite three times being given the chance to change his story.
In court, the 48-year-old pleaded guilty to making a false written statement and to the speeding charge.
He was sentenced to six weeks jail for perjury, and fined £1,200 for speeding. He was ordered to pay £60 costs and was disqualified from driving for three months.
