Speeding and smoking tires: Texas dealerships warned about fake customer’s dangerous joyrides—
Local car salesmen thought they were dealing with the occasional bad customer, a man who would take exotic cars for test drives only to hit speeds of more than 100 mph, despite their pleas to stop the car.
Soon, they realized the man was doing it on purpose, repeatedly, and filming the incidents for social media. Dozens of videos of the joyrides are posted to an account under the name Ahmer Saeed, many with racist or derogatory captions aimed at the sales staff.
Last summer the Texas Automobile Dealers Association issued an alert about Saeed, warning members across the state about sales staff being “endangered.”
“There are other people’s lives at risk,” said Matt Ducote, the general manager at Moritz Kia in Hurst. “You can see him doing this out on the streets … so it’s just an unsafe situation when someone is driving recklessly like that.”
Test drives over 100 mphDucote said one of his salesmen was subjected to a test drive with Saeed.
