I think when the stakes get raised from the speeding conviction to Dangerous driving then this can carry a prison sentence.
I should imagine you would have to be doing some seriously silly **** to get put away tho.
No I havn't

Someone I know narrowly avoided prison for doing 147 in a 30 limit in his Sapphire Cosworth. The only thing that stopped him going down was that he was being chased by an unmarked car that didnt have any lights on during the pursuit and as such he thought he was being chased. His arguement of "when you (think you're) being chased you go as fast as you need to in order to get away"
was what stopped him getting clinked up, still got banned IIRC though.

Some years ago someone was put away for 130mph on the A414 Harlow to Stanstead Abbotts stretch (dual carriageway, national speed limit and straight for a lot of it). Of course I don't know the exact circumstances, but it seemed a bit severe IMHO.

Someone I used to know got community service, 12 month ban, and re-test and a kicking from the coppers, about 10 years ago when he was young and daft.
It took 4 police cars and two police motorbikes to stop him, and they only got him because he turned down a dead end street.
He was in a Modded mk1 golf, and had had a couple of beers.
It was his own car though!
About the same time there was a student that decided he could drive off with a bus full of passengers while p!ssed up, he got off with a fine!
