In case anyone is interested, I hired a paralegal and had the charge reduced from 52km/hr to 49km/hr over the limit. The crown offered the deal and my only other option would have been to take it to trial and hope for a no show.
The reduction is supposed to be the difference between a major and a minor infraction in the eyes of insurance companies... so that's a good thing i guess.
Hope you've all had luck with your cases and happy holidays!

any update on the outcome
Jacky or Kim, Any update on the outcome of your cases? I just got a similar summons. Was travelling 132 in a construction zone on the 401 near cornwall. I have my trial next month.
I've been driving for over 10 years and this my first speeding ticket ever.
