Got caught speeding - best option to move forward?
Title says it all. I was speeding on Hwy. 400 and got caught. It's a posted 100 zone, and according to the officer the radar gun said 31 over. He gave me a break and marked it as 29 over (lower fine, fewer points). My goal is to minimize the impact on my insurance. Is it worth it to go to trial (Option 3).

I quickly realized the light was changing from amber to red, and I decided to stop. However my vehicle did move past the white line, and stopped blocking some of the crosswalk (maybe half or slightly more). To my horror, I also noticed that I was in a red light camera intersection (and may have seen the flash go off) I am unsure if I passed the white line when the light was amber or red, but being red...
