I admit I went through several tickets when I started driving, part ignorance part being foolish. I'd say let your son know that 1) things sometimes do happen 2) if he get another ticket doesn't the state take his license away for awhile - how to get to all his activities 3) as another said, let him know how special he is to you and his welfare is your first concern 4) ask him if he is prepared for the responsibility of causing death or injury to another? Do this last one with a very sober face, and consider finding the press on the last several teenagers that were killed and the facts behind each account.
We have a teenage driver in the house too. One of his classmates was killed two years ago because the driver giving them a ride home from practice was drunk. Our son knows that a phonecall anytime anywhere will get him a ride home rather than be subjected to a bad situation. No recriminations, just a safe ride home.
I just had this discussion with a fellow employee. Three teenagers were racing on a weekend night on the street in front of wife's office. One of the cars (three abreast!) hit a tree in the divider and killed the driver *and* the passenger. We all saw that on the news and for the next several times we drove by it we discussed what a shame it was for them to miss all of the rest of their lives, and the impact on the rest of the family... didn't make it a heavy parent scene, just that we didn't want that to happen to *anyone* else.
