It's my understanding that while it's a traffic offence and will indeed be on your traffic record, if the matter ends up in court and you are found guilty w/ conviction recorded, the conviction will go on your criminal record - unless you manage to get a section 10 dismissal (i.e. no conviction recorded). I recall many of the traffic lawyers' websites warned about going to court and risking conviction if you don't get a section 10. I'm not a lawyer, so happy to review any info you may have to the contrary.
