Stunt driving in Ontario is a serious Highway Traffic Act offence under section 172(1) that can lead to immediate roadside suspensions, vehicle impoundment, heavy fines, demerit points, possible jail, and long-term licence suspensions, even for a first offence.
Stunt driving (Ontario Highway Traffic Act, s. 172) is treated as a major traffic charge because the penalties and insurance consequences can be severe, even for a first offence.
Why you should call: this charge can jeopardize your licence and driving record and often turns on evidence (radar/lidar accuracy, speed reading reliability, officer observations). Getting representation early matters.
Charged with stunt driving in Toronto or anywhere in Ontario? Under the Highway Traffic Act, a conviction can bring 6 demerit points and a set fine starting at $2,000, with courts able to impose $2,000–$10,000, plus a possible licence suspension (1 to 3 years) and up to 6 months in jail. Stunt driving includes excessive speeding (40+ km/h over the limit in zones under 80 km/h, 50+ km/h over in zones 80 km/h or higher, or 150+ km/h anywhere), street racing or chasing another vehicle, performing burnouts/drifting/donuts/wheelies, repeatedly changing lanes aggressively near other vehicles, intentionally cutting off or tailgating other drivers, preventing others from passing, driving while not in the driver’s seat, carrying passengers in the trunk, and driving without due care and attention.
