Obviously the speed shown may have been acheived on a track day that you attended

I have a GPS unit in the car which records the maximum speed achieved over a journey. Not condoning speeding in anyway but on several occasions, conditions permitting, the speed registered is slightly above certain limits . A work colleague of mine has suggested that the reading constitutes evidence and if the police were to find it, it could get me in trouble Has anyone heard of this actually happening before?

Not currently admissable in a court of law, but that might change...

Last company had tracked vehicles & one had its plate copied & driven around. Went through cameras etc etc & it was 50 miles from where ours was. It took a long time to get the plod to agree from our track logs that the vehicle was not where they said it was

You're more at risk if you have a company vehicle & those logs are checked. Where I am now put one driver on a written warning for failing to slow down...

There's a minor problem with using gps for evidence like that... a small position fault from the gps signal (it happens) and the gps unit thinks it has jump quite a distance in no time at all, giving quite a tasty instantaneous speed.

I've had a max speed recorded with my gps in my car of approx 250mph. (Was in a 30 limit at the time too!)
