1. Well, at *least* pay his ticket.
Though, if you were toasted, and since he was the driver, it was ultimately his responsibility to know what he was doing while driving, and to pay attention to all street signs.

4. then it damn sure better be a 20 oz.
if you only spring for the 12 oz can, then you're a cheapskate.

6. Suck it up and pay the ticket
Of course, if you are the type who thinks shelling out a whole buck or so is fair compensation for a ticketed moving violation, you won't take this advice...

7. I would pay for the ticket
will it count against him for his insurance? cuz if it does it will cost him more than that ticket if they mess up his premiums.
