I've been doing some reading and apparently in some areas (mostly some states, it looks like), the prosecutor has the ability to reduce a speeding ticket to one which does not show on your driving record, in exchange for paying a fine and attending a traffic school course. From what I read, this normally is available only if you have a clean record and this is your first offense. Does anyone know if that's an option in Ontario?

Nope. No mercy.

Ontario wants your money, not better driving skills.

It happened to me, I live in Ottawa and from talking to the prosecutor it sounds like they're fairly open to permitting it provided it's a first offense.

Read that if you want my whole story.
