Azzedin Khan, 33, from London Colney, in Hertfordshire, was caught exiting the Hatfield Tunnel on the A1(M) on 9 November last year.

Prosecutor Stefan Weidmann told St Albans Crown Court that Khan's dangerous driving had been "egregious". "He drove at astonishing speed, undertaking other cars and committed a blatant transgression of a red light," he said.

Mr Weidmann said an officer in an unmarked car saw Khan's Range Rover driving so aggressively along the A414 at about 20:45 GMT that he thought the driver had stolen it or had been involved in a burglary. The officer followed the car northbound up the A1, recording Khan's speed at 137mph, in wet conditions, as he exited the Hatfield Tunnel.

Khan pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and was jailed for six months. He was also banned from driving for two years and three months, and ordered to take an extended retest.
