Little can be read from this.

Speedos overread. Odometers usually do too.
Google says 344 miles from city to POW, with 99% of that via motorways.
Round down the time to the nearest half hour and there's no story anyway anyway.

Do you usually trawl profiles for things like this?
It is interesting that I cannot see that information on that profile.....

I might also add that the speed limit for vans on motorways is 70, not 60.

:welcome: lanehogz

I have sent you a PM.

The gist of the link related to someone claiming to have travelled between 2 points at a certain rate.

Anyone can say anything on FB, it may bare no resemblance to the truth and is no 'evidence' of anything.

It does bring up the question however, of what do people do when travelling from A to B - and that relates to conditions and the 85th %ile....
In light of the recent announcement that the Gov is considering increasing the motorway speed to 80mph it might then mean that this would be legal, if it wasn't already from what has already been analysed. The precise point to point not being clear anyway.
There is also great concern that some Companies can pressurise people to achieve destinations, in time frames that require employees to perhaps travel faster that is either safe or legal.

AFAIK anything people have said on Face Book isn’t actual proof of what they ‘are’ or ‘do’ because it can ultimately be passed off as make believe; a story or allegory. So you may be hard-put to do much about it.

That said, I was on Face Book for a while but I went off it after I heard potential employers look there and the many other ways in which things can come back to bite you on the buttocks.
