actually 131 in an 90 = 4 points
You should *always* request a trial - about 3-4 weeks before your court date you should send registered mail to the provincial prosecutor (addressed @ your court house) requesting full disclosure (officers training, writing on front/back of ticket, radar unit involved, last time it was calibrated (if not laser), etc)
I found out all about this stuff on a site called fyst - www.magma.ca/~fyst - one time the cop was there but didn't provide the info so he didn't want to testify - I was off - another time he didn't provide it, so I got another court date 5 months later (aka 9 months after I got the ticket).
Points stay on your license for 2 years after *offence* date, so, the longer you postpone the court date the better - insurance looks at that stuff for 3 years, so you're not exactly in the clear there - usually if it's 2 minor offences (<50 km/hr speeding) you are ok - points only really matter for commercial drivers (insurance wise).
So, really, getting away with 'no points' isn't that big a deal, that just helps you out with the MTO if you get more infractions, but in the eyes of insurance companies - points or not - it is a conviction.
Don't bother with Pointts or any of those ppl unless you have some really serious offences, you can do what they do for free, you just have to miss some time off work.
Was it OPP or Metro?

Any idea what it'll cost to have XCOPPER (or whoever) fight it? Any recommendations for who i should go with?
