The officer was a no-show so it was thrown out. So relieved!

not sure on the rest of this, but just getting demerit points wont make any differance to your insurance, only the conviction matters and a conviction is a conviction regardless of the fine.

Would the cop likely bring it along with them or would they assume I was supposed to request disclosure for it?
