I live in Ohio (Hamilton county to be exact) and I received a reckless operation ticket today from a sheriff. I was making a left hand turn onto a 4 lane road while driving my Camaro. I just purchased this car a week ago and I'm still trying to get used to the added power (I'm used to driving underpowered cars). When I turned left, I hit the gas a bit too hard and fishtailed across the double yellow, and then swung back into my lane. The officer saw this and wrote me the ticket. I will admit that it was careless, but it was also unintentional. My court date is August 2nd, and I'm wondering what my best course of action might be. I don't have a spotless driving record, and in Ohio, reckless op is a 4 point offense. Is there anything I can do to maybe reduce this? The fine doesn't worry me, as it's only $158 max. Could I pay double and ask to only get two points? Ask if I could get the points reduced if I attended driving school? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
