Can you send a high school student to jail for speeding?

It is unlikely that a high school student would be sent to jail for speeding, as most jurisdictions do not consider speeding to be a crime carrying a possible jail sentence for first time offenders. The consequences for a high school student caught speeding typically involve fines, driver's license suspension, or participation in a traffic safety program. Depending on the severity of the offense and local laws, a student may also be required to attend traffic school or complete community service.
