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?

Is traffic school offered in Ontario?

Nope. No mercy.

What kind of a man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.

Re: Is traffic school offered in Ontario?
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. http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com ... 81-30.html Read that if you want my whole story.
