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 :rolleyes:

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...

Cheers Puff, looks like i'm safe for a few years then ;) and the cars personal so not work related.

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!)
