[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live on a residential cut through near a high school and the teenage speeders are the worst. They don't have the maturity or perspective to realize that while zooming through at 45 doesn't feel unsafe to them, there are kids around walking to and from school who are most definitely endangered by their recklessness. I understand why they might not be thinking about that - I probably wouldn't have either as a new driver - but as a parent, it's your job to help your teen understand that This Is A Big Deal and there are reasons speed limits are set as they are and they absolutely will lose driving privileges if they flaunt that.[/quote]

I have a relatively new driver. For the first year he was super careful. Once he was confident he was one of the kids you are talking about - took a speeding trip through the neighborhood. I live in a neighborhood where on day one of his speeding adventure, I got messages from many neighbors. My son was remorseful and responsive to a discussion of the risks. Just wanted to say that I am so grateful of those people who messaged me. Who knows what might have happened if I didn't know and hadn't had the opportunity to intervene. [/quote]
