I simply see nothin g wrong with his driving apart from breaking the speed limit. Nothing at all to report on that video.

You're being a typical dash cam owner, looking for problems where there are none in order to justify the dash cam purchase and be a general scumbag.

What on earth...?
 
Ragging is not a term that I would use for the way he drove your car.
I thought apart from the couple of hard accelerations he took good care of your car.

I bet you have done worse!

It is a bit tame but I'd just have a quiet word with the dealer about the high speed regardless. I wouldn't be happy about someone doing twice the limit in my car, but I wouldn't go in like a steamroller either.
 
Jesus is this thread for real?

The guy has his foot down for a total of 10 seconds in that 3 minute clip. Let's all loose our mind over the car being ragged.

I haven't watched the video yet but isn't the notion that the OP will have been more aggressive in driving his own car rather missing the point? It's his car to use (or abuse) rather than it being for dealership staff to treat it as if it were their own.

This really....

reporting this guy and potentially making him lose his means of paying his bills would make you pure scum IMO. Please don't do it. If you get an NIP in the post then by all means....but only then. The video was such a nonevent :rolleyes:
 
His lane control seemed crap and his taste in music terrible, but frankly he squirted for a bit and most of the time seemed to be pootling and he left the ST go after a short time. For me this is a quiet word in the Service Manager ear, not something I would seek to get someone fired for.

That is why I've not said anything: I don't want the guy to lose his job. Even if I have a word with the manager it's then out of my hands and he may sack him.

As I said before, the event happened on 8th September and I've not done anything since and wasn't intending to. I just thought I'd ask opinion on here in case I was letting him off lightly.

I understand that many see it as ok and something they would do but my biggest gripe was that he was in a position of trust and it was my car, not his.

Don't mechanics try to push cars a little bit to keep the EGR / catalyst etc clean? not sure......
 
report it; they will say they don't know which engineer drove the car and give him a warning or something.

get some compensation from them.
