When to drive?

The date for my annual trek to Altmar is approaching; but #1 offspring
has managed to royally screw up the planning. Okay, his college
classes on Monday morning are an acceptable reason to push the trip
forward a day, no problem. Lodging reservations were revised, and all
is well.
Then there was this speeding ticket. He got PBJ, but on the condition
he complete a "Driver Improvement Program". So he loses the
notification from the MVA until the only possible way he can avoid a
license suspension is to take the class on the night we're scheduled
to leave. So, instead of making Altmar by midnight, we're looking at
not even leaving until at least 10 p.m. Nuts.
So here's the question. It's a 6-hour drive; interstates all the way.
Would you leave at 10 & arrive dead tired at 4 a.m. & try to fish on a
couple hours sleep (assuming you survive the trip) or get a few hours
sleep here, get up at 0-dark thirty & drive in the morning, missing a
half day of fishing? There's really no good answer here, I'm trying
to decide which is the lesser of the two evils.

I'd go without him.
