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?

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.
