A motorist who had just been caught speeding smashed head-on into a car and caused the driver life-changing injuries.
Samuel Tiley was driving around twice the speed limit when he crashed his powerful Subaru Impreza into Jodie Wynne's Ford Fiesta, Bristol Crown Court heard.
Ms Wynne was left with four fractured ribs, severe bruising, her right foot broken in three places and broken leg bones.
It was just a week after Tiley was caught driving at 70mph through a 50mph limit.
Tiley, 24, of Longs Drive in Yate, pleaded guilty to causing serious injury by dangerous driving on February 6, 2018.
Judge James Patrick jailed him for 16 months.
He told Tiley: "You were driving very fast when you should not have been.
"There is a very high degree of harm in this case."
Tiley was banned from driving for four years and told to take an extended driving test.
Miss Wynne declined to comment as she left court.
Alun Williams, prosecuting, said Tiley overtook a car on Bristol Road, Winterbourne, lost control and crashed head-on into Ms Wynne, 29.
When interviewed an apologetic Tiley accepted driving the Subaru and admitted he stupidly overtook a car, misjudged speed and distance and lost control.
Ms Wynne stated she had been unable to start a new job and had been left unable to straighten her leg or fully bend her knee.
An expert calculated Tiley would have been driving at 54-58mph through a 30mph zone, and overtaken at 75-81mph through a 40mph zone.
Tabitha Macfarlane, defending, said her remorseful client was a man of previous good character who may have been suffering the bereavement of his mum around the time of her birthday.
Miss Macfarlane said: "He doesn't want to drive again.
"He is really sorry.
"He is truly devastated for what he has done.
"He is prepared for an immediate custodial sentence."
