I remember when I was 18, coming home from <wherever>, and walking into the kitchen, to have this conversation:
Mom: You're home on time.
Me: I'd have been here earlier if I hadn't gotten a speeding ticket on the way home!
Luckily for me, my dad had gotten his Miata about a year before, and in that year had gotten two speeding tickets, probably his first in 40 years! He also hadn't told my mom about them until just then!
I had to pay the ticket, but I don't think there was any home-brewed punishment for that one!
