Help needed to track down a member

[ilsautomotive]

G'day all, I have received an e-mail from a truck driver named Mark who witnessed some appauling driving by an E Series member - an L plater in a blue Falcon wagon with Club stickers. His original message, reproduced with permission, is as follows:

"Dear Mr. Travis,

I am writing to you regarding the actions by one of your members,
registration # rego removed Dark Blue Falcon station wagon, which I will add had
your clubs logos all over its windows. This morning at around 7.40am myself
and another vehicle were attempting to legally merge from a lane that
discontinued on Cheltenham Road, Keysborough into the lane your member was
in. However your member moved up, so to make sure that no one could merge,
I sounded the horn on my car and moved in behind your member only to notice
the L plate in the window, the driver was a learner and he and his
instructor, which I gather was his father or another relative were laughing.

Now I believe that road courtesy is just as important as road rules, and
both should be taught to learners. As we moved on further down Cheltenham
Road through the intersections of Springvale Road and Centre Dandenong Road
the learner speed off increasing his speed to 100km’s in a 80km zone, by the
time I had caught up to check his speed he had reduced his speed to 80km’s,
however he again increased his speed and I clocked him at 100km’s again and
he continued this speed well into a 60km zone until he approached the
round-about at Boundary Road, Braeside. I find the actions of this learner
driver and the failure of his instructor to instruct him in safe and
courteous driving skills to be extremely poor, what sort of a driver in this
boy going to be when or if he gets his licence???

Not only did this learner driver act foolishly and his instructor fail in
his duty of care, but they both also dishonoured your club by driving in
this dangerous and discourtesy manner. Any driver licensed or learning
should not be driving in this manner at any time, I have given the details
of all this to the Springvale Police, however as you may well know they are
reluctant to act of this type of complaint.

I would also like to add that I am a member of a 4WD club, one of the rules
for the club is that all members drive in a safe and courteous manner at all
times, on all roads or there will either a reprimand or cancellation of
membership if a complaint is received.

I would like to think that your committee would take this matter to the
member in question and at the very least reprimand him and explain in no
uncertain terms that this sort of driving instruction and driving is not
tolerated at any time, no matter who is driving.

I would like a reply from you and if you require any further details, I will
am willing to call you with them.

Regards,

Mark"

The member shall be banned from the forums and the club as soon as we can establish his identity. We have zero tolerance for this type of stupidity.
