I had this big ticket once, and decided instead of paying it I would opt for cummunity service (fine print on the ticket said I had that option). I'm glad I did, I got assigned to raking leaves over at a nearby cathedral. Nice outdoor work, fresh air, and at the end of my time the grounds boss said he'd never seen anyone sent to him for community service bag more leaves than me.
Not something I'm inclined to do again, it's easier to pay them, but it was a good experience that one time.
I'm sure this guy will survive.
