What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio

Long story short-I was driving home around 1 am in heavy rain on the interstate. I was going about 45 mph in the middle lane of 3 and there was minor construction. Sadly my car hydroplaned as I was going through a curve and smashed into the wall.

I was stuck with a assured clear distance citation for $160. I don't think this fair? I was hoping for some good advice here: should I pay it or show up at court and fight it? I'm thinking a failure to maintain controll would be a little less? What does everyone think?
