You're over bowing the situation.
Ok. It happened.
G confronts him and it never happens again.
Done.
Unless he's a total moron, he'll listen and feel like a total putz.
Guys listen to reason, especially from a girl.
To ruin two reps is just ludicrous.
Let's get past it and move on.
I'd throw a few back with you too but you'd end up in the pool first.

That is my point, he is a total moron. Otherwise he would not be driving a company rental at 108 MPH. You cannot assume a guy like that will understand reason. I don't think she should ruin his rep with the company, just that she should not get back in the car with him. Get back another way and not speak of his stupidity to the company unless she is cornered on it.

I feel strongly about this because I have known a couple of people who didn't get that second chance.

And, congratulations on winning with me ending up in the pool first.

Does the vehicle have on star (similiar)?

If so event was already recorded and probably noted by insurance company.

Data is probably in the car already via trip and average speed data as well.

Go full Russian and have a Go Pro shipped to her for the return trip.

Sad part is I'm sure that car was maxed out on the speed limiter at 108. If the speed limiter wasn't there, he'd have gone faster.

My client contacts even have knowledge of G and her pedigree through casual conversation. Just weird...quite likely pure coincidence. But seriously, wtf??
if you keep naming companies and people, you're making it easy for this thread to pop up in a search. just sayin'.

So she spoke with him this morning and thanked him for driving yesterday but said she's not comfortable with him driving 30-40 over the posted speed, and to either slow down or let her drive.

He said he was sorry and was a little embarrassed.

Valid, but then again if you quote me, it doesn't help either. LOL

Fortunately Panasonic is a happy story and has nothing to do with the original content.

I don't know much about this guy who was driving, But if he is in early to mid 20s, he may have heard about her driving race cars and figured it would impress her if he drove that fast. That's exactly the king of stupid thing I may have tried at that age, frankly.

Anyway, glad it all turned out alright without getting escalated.
