As far as the officer tailgating you, unfortunately that is not a defence to speeding. Although you may have done it for valid safety reasons, we're talking about how a court would view it.
After you get your trial date in the mail, you can make a request for disclosure of the evidence against you. (See "Courts and Procedure" section of this site.) We can help with a defence, if there appear to be errors in the officer's notes or some sort of problem with disclosure.
Generally with most speeding offences, because it's relatively easy to prove, a plea-bargain to a lesser speed is usually the outcome. But give it a shot and see what happens.

Do not accept a recess or time on the day of trial to review it. That's unfair to you, and against the fundamental pillars of the judicial process.
TL:DR; Don't worry, the ball is in their court.

- Officer Notes.png (171.5 KiB) Viewed 1507 times
- Followed from Bloor Street on-ramp to southbound Don Valley Parkway.
- Gets on westbound ???
- In lane 2, speeds up to 124 km/hr
- Locked front antenna (meaning your speed was obtained with radar)
- At time of reading, officer's speed was 110 km/hr, at a distance of 100 meters behind you.
- Stopped at Dufferin Street
- Identified with Ontario driver's licence
- No record (likely referring to your driving history)
The only thing that quickly jumps out at me, is that there's no record of testing the radar. It needs to be tested at the start and end of every shift. It may simply be that the notes are recorded elsewhere, but if they're not that's a good way to raise reasonable doubt.

I might be inclined to look for a plea-bargain here, given that you have "no record."
