Lightbulb suggestion...

Any time your child misbehaves dangerously, in the car...

YOU PULL OVER and refuse to continue.

When he/she goes back to her/his seat...and you buckle him/her in...
and all is normal...you continue.

Any verbal attempt to stop the misbehavior will likely fail.
Stop the car. And show her you will not tolerate this.

This is called logical consequences...and if you Google that term, you will
find it is an older technique, but very useful. You don't need an accident in the car by any means.
