Sam Tucker, 24, of Goodshayes Drive, was jailed for six-years and four-months and following death of Yothini Sriskandapalan on the A12 in May
He was also disqualified from driving for eight years.
Officers were called at 11.10pm on Monday, May 13 to reports of two cars in collision on the A12 outside Newbury Park underground station (eastbound).
A red Vauxhall Corsa being driven by Yothini Sriskandapalan, 29 of Aldborough Road North, Ilford, Essex and a silver BMW driven by Tucker were in collision.
The Corsa was travelling west along the A12 and, as it turned across the eastbound carriageway, the BMW collided into the front nearside, causing Mrs Sriskandapalan to suffer severe head injuries, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Tucker is believed to have been driving the 319d model BMW at a speed of at least 65mph in a 40mph zone.
Tucker was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and later charged with causing death by dangerous driving.
Detective Sergeant Abi Lambkin, Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: "Tucker was driving a powerful vehicle well in excess of the legal speed limit, and his recklessness in doing so sadly resulted in the death of Mrs Sriskandapalan.
"I hope that his sentence acts as a deterrent to anyone who thinks that speeding and driving dangerously on the roads of London is an acceptable thing to do - It is not, and this sad incident is a stark warning of the dangers and consequences faced by those who do."
