First-- I'd like to say I'm glad your daughter is safe. Speeding can be so dangerous.

I've replied to others before about my son and his trouble last year-- it was a month after his 16th birthday- he got a speeding ticket. ( here in rural country- minors can get a full license at 16)-- he was going over 100mph in a 45mph zone.

We had to go to court-- some minors were there without parents-- so the judge was pleased to see my son had parental support. But like 1day- said-- the judge talked the whole time to my son (not to the parents)-- just a heads up for your daughter!! My son-- like JustBen-- was charged with reckless driving as he was more than 20 mph over the speed limit.
The thing that really drove the point home for my son was that he had to do one hour of community service for every mph over the speed limit!!! He did a lot of painting bus benches, sidewalk sweeping and weed pulling-- and it was served over Christmas break--- while other kids where seeing movies, hanging out at the malls-- he was "working" hard. It really left an impression on my son. (so far so good anyway, **fingers crossed**)

Whatever happens for your daughter-- I sure hope she will learn her lesson and be a safe driver.

Sheesh...... don't they know what this does to the parents!!!!!!!! Good luck next week to you and your daughter.
