[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one here that would just talk to my kid about driving a reasonable speed and just pay the ticket for them?    [/quote]

Yes, that's being as immature and irresponsible as the teen here. [/quote]

I got the exact same ticket as a college student (my first speeding ticket).  I was required to go to a one day defensive driving class to avoid points on my license.  That was stuff I did not learn in driver's ed, and use it to this day.

At the very least, your daughter needs a defensive driving class.  If you did not set out consequences for speeding in advance, now is the time.

I would insist on a defensive driving class, and she would be paying the ticket *and* for her own car insurance.  She would also not be allowed to drive the car for non-essential reasons; i.e., no using it to drive to a friend's house or to the movies.  I would also give her the information about pedestrian fatalities.  Speeding in a residential neighborhood is so, so dangerous.  [/quote]
