Dilemma - my 16-year old

Unit 5302 · 05-21-2002, 11:21 PM

It's pretty simple in my opinion. A rule was made, a punishment for breaking the rule was set. He broke the rule, and got caught. Now, does the parent wimp out, and let his son know his dad doesn't back up what he says? Like I said, Mustang_289 pretty much dug himself a hole for the current situation. If you're gonna set punishment in stone, you not only set it for the child, but for yourself. I hate it when I see parents tell their child what is going to happen if they break rules and then back out of it.

As mentioned earlier, a Mustang 5.0 is a performance car, and the reason you get a performance car is to use it. There are people who only run at the track, but that rule is tough to follow. Even for most adults.

I really think investigating the punishment from the state in regards to reckless driving is worth some time. Maybe you can plea it down to careless? Bottom line there is no way out of the ticket. The only chance there is, is to get the prosecutor or arraignment officer to plea it down big time. I don't know what the rules are in the state for a minor in regards to license suspension and revocation.
