WWYD- teenager, new driver, and speeding ticket
Posted on 1/7/24 at 9:00 pm

The Details:
Teenage driver, had DL for one month and was pulled over for speeding 85 in a 55.
Could've been cited for reckless driving, but was only ticketed with 80 in a 55.
Consequences Enforced Effective Immediately:
*Take the car from said teen until court date
*Grounded until court date
*Took away gaming laptop
*Required teen to spend time in common areas of house / not allowed to just hole up in the bedroom.
Sufficient, too much, or need further consequences?
This would be the very first time said teen has ever been in any sort of trouble and teen is an A/B student and not a general shitass. He does stink however
This Thread also doubles as the Lunch Thread that never happened today so- charcuterie board for lunch and w1 currently.

I have told my teen repeatedly that any ticket gets her car taken away. 80 in a 55 should face some serious consequences.

Teen needs to pay ticket for sure

Sounds like a good punishment to me. Especially if he’s generally a good kid. He’s realized he’s fricked up with this one.

This is what my parents did when I made a bad decision driving: made me pay for my own car insurance. I was still on their policy, but I had to pay the difference for me to be on the policy.

I’m not a fan of just restrictions, as in I think doing actual work whether it be chores, a job, volunteer, etc. Making the punishment staying busy doing something they don’t want to do.
But, why was he speeding? Just wanted to go fast? Showing off? Etc?
I went 132 in HS. Not proud of it, it was over a 3 mile bridge when I got off at like 11pm at night from my job so relatively safe…but…not abnormal for a teenager to do.

Taking away gaming thing and grounded is sufficient inho.

I'd make him pay the fine with his money that he earned not from money given to him.
I'd also beat his arse.
If possible take him to a place that deals with Traumatic Brain Injuries so he can see what could happen as a result of crashing at high speeds.
The problem is kids that age think nothing can/will happen to them.

that was included in our rules and expectations of driving when he got his DL.
He is now tasked with finding a ride to/from school or he can (shamefully) ride the bus. that is a him problem as far as I am concerned.
and he will certainly pay the ticket- which with court costs will be 190$.

that is a GREAT idea. I like it.

Way too harsh imo.
Kids will make mistakes. Cut him some slack if he’s been a good kid.
I would recommend restricting driving to school/work for a few weeks and he pays for ticket.

I got a ticket about a month after I got my first car when I was 16.
My parents told me that I knew better than that. That they had paid for me to have a car. They were going to have pay the ticket until I paid them back in the summer and maybe would have to pay increased insurance.
Total guilt trip but I felt really bad.
I actually have never gotten another speeding ticket and I'm 45.

I thought abt it.
when the officer called me last night, I asked him to cuff him and throw him in the back seat of the patrol car until I got there. (he didn't- but I sortof wish he would've)
The boy was in tears when I arrived. He knew he effed all the way up.
I do want him to learn a vv valuable life lesson here though. He could've been killed if a deer had run out in front of him or if he blew a tire or just lost control.

I initially read "WWJD," which puts a different meaning on it.
