I just found out the other day my son (16) who just got his licince is speeding. Accordingly from some of his friends who were with him he was going 145km/h down our road which is a 70 km/h. Should I be concerned, what should I do? ↓

| Don't be concerned. It's just speeding. I know it sounds foolish but there could be worse things ant @ 16 years old, it's natural for things like such to occur. Just talk to him and tell him that the next time he gets a ticket he will have to pay for it or work it off, AND his car will be taken away. I'm sure he'll learn from that . ↑ |

| I would definitely be concerned. If he is doubling the speed limit that is reckless behavior and could result in injury or death to him and or others. If I were you I would take the car away until he proves himself to be a safe driver. I would much rather hear him bitch and moan that it's not fair then hear the judge sentence him to life in prison or family and friends crying over his casket! Better safe then sorry!! ↑ |

Baby what do you mean do not be concerned?? He could kill himself and others.He is not an experienced driver.
Janet talk to him first maybe the kids in the car were not truthful? If they were then you need to explain to him why you are up set . Maybe drivers ed would help him understand.
Good luck ↑ |

The fact that as a parent you are asking yourself should you be concerned is the first thing you should consider. A licence is a priviledge and a responsibility and you should be emphasising this to him wherever you can. He iss at an age of course where he considers speeding to be cool. Ask yourself this, at 16 is he mature enough to have a licence? Am I able to 100% feel assured that my son is going to be safe behind the wheel? And Can I forrgive myself that I knew this was going on and I did nothing about it only to find he killed somebody else and/ or himself? As a mum you have probably already thought these things. At his age you are not there to be his friend you are there to guide him and make sure he becomes the best person he can be. An honest and responsible person is not something you could ever be ashamed of try and get this through his head!!!
I hope it goes well and wish him luck and good wishes...

| Wrong wording and comp troubles. My son I will make sure never speed's again. One of his classmates who was with another group of kid's in his school were speeding badly earlier this year. Im sadnedd to metion a 16 year old from his school and even was in his classes was killed. I mentioned it to him, and I think he then realized how serious speeding can be. ↑ |

| Well if you dont intervene he's eventually going to crash and burn! So,yeah,I think I'd be steppin' in and speaking up! Take the keys away from him and tell him he is'nt responsible enough to be driving until he becomes a safe driver.Let him drive ONLY when you are with him.That way when he speeds up you can make him SLOW DOWN!!!!! And explain to him that this is the exact reason WHY he has to only drive with you for now. ↑ |

| You can actually report that to the DMV and they'll revoke his license and if you dont want to be that drastic tell him if he continues that you will do that. ↑ |

Hey Janet
Thats really horrible hey it must be so sad when it takes that kind of thing to get a wake up call! For your son I mean. But in life we know our lessons are learnt the hard way I'm glad that your son with a strong head on his shoulders will be able to make a difference and maybe influence his friends to do the same.
Good luck i'm a teen myself and I know that the next 3 years are going to be fun for you (no i'm kidding it sounds like he is pretty good at taking advice)!!!
You will do great and I wish you all the luck and happiness...

take away the keys 4 awhile, like 2 months or until you feel you can trust him.
