How should I handle my college aged stepson in this situation?

OK OK ...Its not really my job, but his mom is livid and wants me to weigh in on the following.

18 y.o. stepson went off to college.

Within the first week he gets 3 parking tickets at $30 apiece.

Then he rearranges his schedule....we said "Fine you've got to take the classes." He's still taking a 15 hour load.

Then he calls me and says he's thinkiung about dropping one class because he missed the first 3-4 sessions due to drop/add and he wasn't able to get a text book that was back ordered. I reminded him we expected him to take 15 hrs minimum, there was still over a month for him to catch up before the final drop date, we knew he could catch up if he put his mind to it., etc. He says he'll give a shot.

Today I discover he went ahead and dropped the class so he's only taking 12 hours. He doesn't know we know.

This past weekend he got a ticket for 90 mph in a 65. Thirteen (13) minutes later he got another ticket for 85 in a 70. From the same police department.

He's a good kid, but I want to choke the little bastage
