BMW's UK finance director has been jailed for six weeks for lying to police after being clocked at 101mph on Oxford's Eastern by-pass.
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 50 mph.
He was driving a BMW-owned Mini, Banbury magistrates' court was told today.
Moser, a German national, claimed 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.
