[QUOTE="witzend, post: 172044, member: 99"] L just by-passed the whole teenage driving thing by not getting her license until she was 18. I agree that having the cop scare the bejeezis out of her is probably about as good as it is going to get at this point. It's possible if he had given her the ticket she would have gone on the defensive and not learned a thing. Fear is a great motivator, and most teenagers have no fear. They know what it means for mom and dad to get mad. Mom and Dad have been telling difficult child's for years "One day you're going to get into trouble and I'm not going to be there! You'd better be careful because I'm [i]easier[/i] on you than you think!" She did the wrong thing and maybe she learned a lesson this time. You handled it well. There's not a lot you can do to make them "get it" at that age. [/QUOTE]
