My license is not in danger. I just have to make up the credits ASAP, sign a release saying 'yeah, I screwed up' and pay a stupidity fine. No suspension of priviledges or license, and therefore household income will continue - which is REALLY GOOD since dear hubby's business is in a bad slump right now. He's had only 2, maybe 3 paying jobs since Christmas.
So, all things considered, it's not as bad as it could have been.
