What Level Charge is this Ticket?

I got a ticket in Franklin County, Ohio from a Columbus City Officer. The traffic ticket was a citation for:

Speeding: 104 MPH in a 65 MPH zone (CTC code 2133.03).

Other: Change lanes W/O safety (CTC code 2131.148 or 2131.14A - I can't tell what the last character is)



I am summoned and ordered to appear in court. There is NO reckless op. indicated on my ticket.



What level are these charges (minor misdemeanor, M4, M3)? How can I tell, or does anyone know?



Thanks a lot, I appreciate the help!What Level Charge is this Ticket?
According to the DMV website, driving in a manner that is wreckless to other pedestrians or drivers is a four point violation.



55 mph or more - (+30mph over) 4 points



Additionally, even though wreckless operation was not cited, the judge will know the speed at which you were going and you will probably see hefty fines.



Normally, speeding tickets are considered infractions, but this charge may be classified as an M1, as it is blatant that you were driving at a speed that is dangerous to the safety of others.
