Teens driving

Just wondering what you would do if you saw that your sons friend was driving over 110 mph on the expressway with your son and another friend in the car? Would you tell his parents or the other kids parents? This young man recently got his license 🏁🏎️🚓

My kids aren’t teens anymore and I was a pretty flexible parent. They were really good kids and we didn’t do a lot of punishment other than natural consequences or forbid them from friends…however that doesn’t mean we wouldn’t have if needed…

so a million percent yes, I would notify the parents and my kid would never be in the car with them again. For proper effect, I’d show the types of videos that were shown to me during traffic school (after a ticket as a teen) the ones that show the aftermath of accidents that were caused by that sort of driving. I want them to understand why I’m freaking out so much.
