Is he a good driver otherwise?

Let's face it, most of us get speeding tickets occasionally. It would matter more to me if I felt he was a generally good or bad driver. If he's generally a safe driver but occasionally goes a little fast, I would be less inclined to worry about it than if he was a grossly irresponsible driver. It sounds like a car is pretty necessary to his lifestyle, as it probably will be for the rest of his life. I think requiring him to pay for his own insurance and ticket/lawyer fees is a great start. It really shows the consequences of his actions now and down the road and forces him to deal with them. It also treats him more maturely than simply taking the car away.
Now if he did something overtly reckless, like cause an accident or was involved in a single car accident, then I would come down more harshly on him. If he's actually a bad driver, perhaps there's some advanced driver training or something he can participate in.
