You better not have done that

Hi

What do you think of this sentence?

You better not have done that.

Is it correct and does it make sense?

Thanks!

It is a casual or degraded version of "You'd (= You had) better not have done that", reflecting the fact that the "'d" gets lost in fast speech, possibly leading to some people not realising that it should be there.
