If you plead guilty before the probation is over but after obtaining your class 5, you will likely still become suspended but when you receive your lisence back, it will be a class 5

That's how it worked for me a few years ago

Edit: when I was going through this, the lady at the office told me that I could dispute the allegation and then plead guilty and dispute the fine while in court and it wouldn't make any difference. She was right. Not sure if things have changed since then

Also, when I showed up in court (poco), the officer approached me first and asked what my intentions were, and ended up putting a good word on for me in from of the JOP to have my fine reduced (YMMV). I was also let off easy, but not nearly as much as you. I was clocked 25km/h over but given under 21km/h

Good luck and stop speeding lol I stopped ever since

Probation is permanent until you get your Class 5.

Did you have any records of accidents? Thing is I have a friend who had the exact same problem and he got through it fine, but it seems to be a
case-by-case basis (i.e. hope the superintendent doesn't hate you). Searching online this also seems to be the case so far through my readings. My driving record is good otherwise as well as his- no accidents, ever.

I talked to a lawyer but he is quoting me $2500 to deal with it... he said that it wouldn't be a problem, but 2500... I really don't want to resort to my credit cards, since I don't have a 'spare' 2500 laying around right now
