Meanwhile in Australia where power-tripping idiots make our road laws, if the mechanic had been caught then the owner would have had his car impounded for at least a month under "anti-hoon" laws even though he had nothing to do with it.
And if you think that is idiotic, the opposite also applies where a dealership had to surrender one of their vehicles to the impound lot after a customer got caught speeding in it during a test drive.
