So what exactly are you going for here? I mean, you could pile on the punishments to ridiculous levels, but I'm not sure that's going to make the lesson stick any better. I'd guess it'd more likely backfire and make you into an overreacting despot. As for limiting costs and legal advice, ask a lawyer. We can't help with that.

@Octopus I updated the question based on your comment. Thanks

Kids do dumber stuff than that. Do you have zero driving violations?

@Paparazzi Nope I have couple, but I have 20 plus years experience versus a view months. Valid point though.

@Paparazzi there is a difference between minor traffic violation and something as criminal as that! It's over twice a limit! There where I live something like that would cost you your car, up to 2 year income, you'll probably go to jail for at least one year, and the court would decide if you ever in your life could get driving licence again...

@DanubianSailor 26 mph over is criminal? Cost you your car, up to 2 year income, you'll probably go to jail for at least one year, and the court would decide if you ever in your life could get driving licence again... Where ever you live I suggest you take a bus. I don't believe you. If his daughter was going to jail I don't think he would be worried about taking away her phone.

As a minor there's virtually no risk of her going to jail.

Forget about trivia like mobile phones. Just take her name off your car insurance policy and make her pay for her own insurance from now on. That punishment won't go away in a hurry - even if you are in a country where you can wriggle out of the immediate consequences by going on a box-ticking driving course. (Clearly her original driving course didn't teach her anything worth knowing about road safety, so why should a second one be any more effective?)

@Paparazzi depends where. In Illinois, for instance, 26 over is indeed a crime.

I actually know lots of adults with no speeding tickets, ever. I've never had one and have been driving almost 30 years and one of my jobs was on the road, so you bet I'd take it very seriously if my child had a ticket. I've never had any sort of ticket, not even parking. And that isn't me talking my way out of it. I have never been pulled over for speeding. My point is only that not all people actually speed.

You might want to check out dmv.org/articles/…. Depending on your state, your daughter might be about to get some pretty imposing penalties applied to her... such that your additional restrictions may be redundant or even excessive.

I've removed the request for legal advice (even just suggestions) -- that would be much better at Legal.SE than here, and I don't want to distract from the parenting focus of your question.

I am finding your approach too harsh for my parenting style. I recommend communicating about why what she did was wrong and have her pay the fine w/ her own money (I am fine with that) - However, taking away the TV? phone? with the sole point of making it painful? - that's not gonna work for long - they'll learn to hide things from you to avoid such harsh punishments. I prefer to be in closer contact with my kids so I can help them when they get in trouble (but that's just me)
