Can someone in Ontario confirm- Re: Speeding Ticket

[focusedmindset]

I recently got my first speeding ticket. It was in one of those school zones that are only active when the lights on the sign are flashing, and they were flashing. My mistake. So I got a ticket for 59km/h in a 40km/h zone. At first I thought my insurance would go through the roof because kanetix says that speeding in a school zone is a major infraction, and thus a major insurance increase (equivalent to 2 or 3 minor incidents). However, it appears kanetix has that there for other provinces in Canada that have a separate offence for speeding in a school zone, evidently Ontario does not have that separate charge. As my ticket says, the offence is 59 in a 40 zone, no mention of school zones. The fine is not the community safety zone rate either, just the regular $2.50 per km/h over + $20. So although I am very certain that this is just a minor insurance event in Ontario (and potentially major in other provinces), I just wanted to throw it out there to definitively confirm. Should I expect only a minor insurance increase, if any, next renewal? Thanks.
