Well the total cost of both tickets is $156. I know I can do school for the improper start. If I can negotiate some community service for the racing and say it was a dumb mistake....maybe I can get off with that.
I'm calling the PA and I'm going to see what he/she says about the mistakes and see if they want to dismiss it. If not, I'll suggest my CS deal. As for suspension and stuff, not here in South FL.
