I will show up, it means O.T. to me. In Ohio you can't just have the ticket reduced over the phone. You have to go to court and speak with the prosecutor. If he is agreeable then he may change it to an "equipment violation" that means no points, cost is about the same.
However I have worked with several different courts and they all vary. There is one judge I know that will not change the ticket unless you can prove to him that it will cost you hardship (as in losing your job).
Pay it and move on. Most insurance companies dont ding you for one violation.
