Speeding ticket in ohio

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? ohio
I got a citation for speeding in ohio state. My license belongs to Texas state.This is my first one.I was speeding 24 over the limit (89 in 65 zone). What options do I have for dismissing the citation and avoid any points on my driving record??? I called ohio court and found out that they dont have defensive driving option and they are gonna report to texas state about my citation after I pay the fine. Its upto them to deduct any points on my driving history.SO what can I do now?? Please advice me .

This will be two points on your Texas license and also will show for insurance points. Your only options are to either pay the ticket or plead not guilty and try for a reduction or dismissal. This usually means showing up on your court date.

Do these points affect on my insurance hike?? I know you may not be the right person to answer this but when can I get rid of these points from my driving record. I want to keep clean driving record. What are the chances if I plead not guilty to waive my points???what is the best way I can do to keep record clean???

Call the court back and ask if it is permissible to have an Ohio attorney appear on your behalf, without you appearing in person. Some states do, some don't.

Call the American Bar Association office where you live, and ask for a referral.

You could contact the district attornys office I believe and ask if you could file an injunction. Allot of states will. Basically you pay the court cost and a fine. And if you keep a clean driving record for six months, the offense does not get put on your record, they throw it in the trash.
