Impose a speed limit that's lower than everyone else's

Let them learn from experience, using the dual brake to ensure safety

Give more demonstrations than normal

Explain what can happen as a result of driving too fastThis was the right answer

Simply telling a pupil that they're driving too fast isn't sufficient. Explanations need to be given, highlighting what may occur if they repeat the fault. More importantly, they need to know what to do to prevent it from happening again.
