Thread: what to do....?

At the least you need to go and have a chat with him,or his boss if he is not an owner operator.You do need all the info,date,time & place, if you can get that as well.

Good luck

Report the *****. He could kill someone.

I second Scarry. The guy has been rather foolish to say the least, and a quiet word in his ear without drama will usually fix things, rather a blow up session where there are then two aggrieved parties.
Your mechanics attitude then will determine, if any, the action to be taken.
Maybe a free service???

Mmm, not sure I'll give him my car again free service or not.

Does the GPS specify the time and date? They can sometimes have a funky reading, not saying that's the case, but best to be sure before accusing someone...

Yeah, I've got to pull out all the data first, haven't downloaded it yet.

After a trip to Vic in the Forester, I checked the GPS and found it had recorded me travelling at over 200km/h near the GOR. I know I hadn't so you might want to be really confident that it is accurate first.

As others have said - do nothing until you have had a good look at the data, GPSr can record a spurious position and give some dodgy speeds to that spurious position and back to the real track. the GPS in the work hilux at ~305kph.
