Though not to standard sentencing guidelines - he was let off lightly when he should have been banned. 145% of speed limit is sufficient for a ban, he was doing 286%.

As a laugh I tried a provision license driving at 80 at 70 motorway, and it didn't comment on the fact the license was wrong.
I then tried full/clean license, motorway and 253mph (Bugatti Veyron) and it said
*** The speed alleged is in excess of the fastest production car available in the UK. You may wish to challenge the speed alleged by pleading not guilty! ***
