The Consequences That Can Change Your Next Step
Roadside consequences
Ontario states stunt driving or street racing can result in an immediate 30-day driver licence suspension and a 14-day vehicle impoundment at roadside.
Demerit points
Ontario lists stunt driving or racing as a 6-demerit-point offence where demerit points are recorded.
Post-conviction consequences
Ontario lists substantial fines, licence-suspension consequences, a driver-improvement course and possible jail time for a conviction.
Insurance impact
Ontario says aggressive, careless and stunt-driving convictions can lead to substantial insurance increases or difficulty obtaining insurance.
Do not decide from the fine alone. A conviction can affect demerit points, your licence and insurance. Get the ticket reviewed before choosing how to respond.
