Meh. They should lock the fucker up. I had a 16 year old.. Well he's 18 now, but he sure as fuck knew 132mph was 'going to jail time.'
Gotta raise your kids how not to get caught. In all seriousness though sometimes how the kid is raised doesn't prevent them from doing dumb shit. Although I believe I was raised right (not many interactions with police) I still played the fool between the age of 14-18. I was hitting 140 in SUVs on the Belt and BQE at 15/16 knowing full well what the repercussions were. Parents know their kids best, if you think they're going to break the law in your performance car, don't give it to them. If your kid is into cars get him a slow manual beater and let him work his way up to something faster. With that, theres a much lower chance they're going to be receiving 132 mph tickets. My first real car was rated at 400 hp and I am certain that if it wasn't AWD I coulda totaled it on multiple occasions.
My parents taught me to do dumb things in a safe environment. For me, that was typically in the desert. When I was only 12, I was ripping around in their 1200lb/500hp sandrail. I was also riding a 2 stroke 250 dirt bike at 12. Shoot, I even got to take out our 1000hp boat back then. My dad has always owned fast toys and made sure to teach me to appreciate the power and learn when it was ok to use it. That was never on a public road. I knew the consequences if I did. Granted, I did stupid stuff on the streets but it was always on a very secluded road where I couldnt hurt anyone but myself.
Thats a good approach. My family thought I was a degenerate because I enjoyed cars and powersports. Deserts are nice but big cities like NYC don't really have an outlet for young people who share interests similar to ours.
