No but if your child is under 18 then take their licence away until they learn to drive responsibly

Well i am 20, i drive a 2000 eclipse gt. I tend to drive faster then i should, i've had my lisence suspended, 10 points, totalled two vehicles, Truck i was doing about 75... little higher than i shoulda have. my fault, other wasnt my fault.
Fastest i've gone in my car... 143mph
Thing is... some people just like to drive fast. I am either going to learn the hard way or grow out of it.
Buy him a radar detector... atleast you can hope his insurance doesnt go up to like mine was once.... 5k a year :)

Not unless you want to spend allot of money for a pointless purpose.
If you think he is going too fast then sell the Mitsu and buy one of those old Geo Metros that has a 3 cylinder engine, top speed is about 75.
Youll save allot of money and embarrass the hell out of the kid.......maybe that will teach him a lesson : )

I doubt it can be done, BUT, you can inform them that IF they're cited for speeding, their driving priviledhges will be revoked by you for an indefinite period of time. When I got my first speeding citation at eighteen, I simply handed my father the keys to the car and told him I'd been caught doing forty in a thirty-five mph zone and was voluntarily grounding myself for as long as he saw fit to ground me. He simply put the keys in his pocket and said, "Three months!", which we both agreed was a fair punishment.
It was nearly twenty five years until I got a second speeding ticket, and my father said, "You remember what I did last time?" I told him I did remember, and even though I was married and out of his house, I offered him my car keys. but he refused to take them.

I'm sure that the best way to keep their speed down is though love and understanding. Teach them why speeding is a problem and show them why you care about it. If you involve them in the process of learning, they will be more willing to slow down and less likely to try to figure out a way around your control. Good luck!

It can get expensive. You can ask a speed shop to do it - oddly enough, but your kid will find a way to undo it. Try some tough love.

I doubt it.
However, I know there's a computer program thingie that can "record" driving habits.
Sorry though, I don't know what it's called.
Good luck, and that's a great idea.
