- The only punishment that will really get a kid's attention for something like this is to take away his car and/or license. Teenage boys are stupid and think they are bulletproof. My son was with a kid that was clocked at 130 when they were in high school. Law came down pretty hard on the driver because he was a juvenile. Took his license for a year. I thought that was excessive but it damn well got his attention.
I had a car that would surpass 120 and never did higher than 80 in it on interstate. So no, a kid will not always do what a car will allow. Some kids just use what God put between their ears and understand consequences of such actions for oneself and the others around you.
