The Defendant was observed by law enforcement squealing his tires at green light and taking off at a high rate of speed parallel to another vehicle. The officer conducted a traffic stop and the Defendant admitted that he was “provoked” into racing the other car. The Defendant was charged with Racing on the Highway and faced a mandatory one year drivers license suspension. The suspension would have resulted in automatic termination from his job as a vehicle transporter. After extension negotiations with the prosecutor and judge, the attorney convinced the prosecutor to drop the racing charge and saved the Defendant’s job.
