[quote=Anonymous]OP's daughter's speed was almost double the limit (44 / 25 = 1.76).  A correlation would be if she was driving on the Beltway with a speed limit of 55 she would have to be going 96.8 mph to maintain the same rate.

Not to be an alarmist but I wonder if OP's daughter has read the story about the young man on River Road who killed 3 members of a family because he was going something like twice (maybe more?) the speed limit?  That young man wasn't speeding because of an emergency or any 'important' reason; he was just speeding because he normally sped when he drove.  Unfortunately 3 people died because of his callous disregard for the speed limit and because of his inability/unwillingness to see that his behavior could negatively impact others.

OP, your daughter needs to learn that you don't tolerate this type of bad behavior, especially in a vehicle bought and paid for by you and insured in your name.  Your daughter should re-take driving lessons with some group like I Drive Smart (the organization run by cops), she should pay for the ticket out of money she earns (not money coming out of a birthday account) and she needs to pay the insurance premiums on a future basis from money she earns.[/quote]
