[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 171914, member: 1697"] Me? I would yank that license and park that vehicle till I am not sure when. SPeeding that much over? ouch, someone, a pedstrian, a child, o someones beloved pet could have gotten maimed or killed. I do not think I could live with myself if my child caused something like that, no matter whether my child could live with it. I consider driving a privelege, and it carries heavy responsibility, and any lapse in judgement can carry harsh consequences. A car is a lethal weapon, potentially. I doubt I would permit a 2nd chance. As permissive as I can be about some things, this? Nope. Seems to me, wasn't it all not so long ago, there was some issue or problem related to alcohol or some drug or something, too? Going 5 over speed limit is one thing, going that much over is another story entirely. And here? A kid arrested for ANYTHING< even if it is not related to driving? the state now suspends their license or blocks them from getting their license. There have simply been far too many kids killed, paralyzed, maimed, etc here.it created our TV station and several newspapers to do a huge 2 yr long special about it....and they changed our teen driving laws dramatically - I think last year. My difficult child does NOT drive- too impulsive, too anxious, altho she has never had any outbursts of violence. and she has no alcohol or substance issues. easy child drives but it costs her PLENTY.....due to husband, her car insurance is very very expensive, and she must pay it herself.....$400 a month, and had to keep her grades good. Whether my son will drive at age 16,17,18 or at all is still up in the air. And it will not only be if the state allows him to. I KNOW many people our state permits to drive that should not in my humble opinion be driving......(some due to horrible driving records, some due to various health reasons) No, we do not have public transportation here, no busses, no taxi cabs, and teen drivers are limited and can only haave one passenger.....I do not care....I am VERY strict re driving. A car is a powerful weapon, and can cause serious injury to innocent victims shareing the roads (or pedestrians) Our HS has buried enough kids, and there are too many kids here in day treatment trying to cope with guilt of injuring others or killing them- most recent, a friend of easy child got hit by a car en way to school bus stop, by another kid in his neighborhood. The injured kid got a brroken neck. All becuz his neighbor was going 20 over on the residential street in a hurry to get to school. [/QUOTE]
