*edit* 50 km/h over = Careless Driving and 6 points!
PS> Insurance will definitely go up, unless you haven't used up your one "freebie". I had a 10+ ticket that nudged a premium by a few bucks 
if by "freebie" you mean no offences yet then no I haven't used it... And your breakdown was exactly what I ment.
I mean 125 for the thought 100 isn't bad, but apparently it dropped 80 then 70 really quick and I got caught. So I'm wondering if since its my first time and it was a 4 points 335 (30-49km over the limit) will my insurance be hit. It was a mistake more then a calculated risk, I thought I was still in the 100's not the 70's... you see my point?
thoughts?
Either way, there is a chance your insurance will be hit. Some policies don't have that "freebie". Others have one, or have some sort of convoluted method about them. You will have to see when your insurance renewal comes up. Sometimes, they will do abstract checks and speeding tickets will show up. If they do, that's when the company can either let it go, hike your rate, or drop you like a bad date.
The speed limit was 70. Ultimately it's up to you, the driver, to know what the speed limit is. "You thought" can easily be replaced with "You didn't look and assumed". Most likely, the cop knows that you did mistake it for the 100's and looked up your record when you handed over the licence to him. If you got the full speed, then those 6-points gets you a letter from the MTO, and I'm not sure what else now.
