I am home sick and she took my car and drove herself to school

I told her a million times that she will mess up getting her license, car insurance won’t pay etc.
I am mad and frustrated. What is the appropriate punishment here?
I don’t want to help her anymore getting her license

You told her a million times? Sounds like your child is running the show at home. I hope you’re feeling better today.

She can get her license when she turns 18 on her own dime. A huge part of having a license is showing good judgement. Since she did not ask for the keys, that is stealing.

Do not pass go. Do not waiver on this. She has to wait.
