"Stunt Driving Charges in Ontario: Legal Representation by RRM Law"

In Ontario, being accused of stunt driving, also referred to as "racing," is a serious offense that is frequently brought on by going over the speed limit by 50 km/h or more. It's crucial to remember that you might be charged with this offense even if you're not racing another car. Stunt driving charges can also result from engaging in reckless or dangerous driving behaviors, such as tire squealing.

If you get a ticket for stunt driving, the immediate penalties are a 30-day license suspension at the roadside and a 14-day, at-your-cost vehicle impoundment.

Penalties for Stunt Driving

If convicted, the penalties are severe:

- First offense: Minimum license suspension of 1 to 3 years.

- Second offense: Minimum license suspension of 3 to 10 years.

- Third offense: Lifetime suspension, potentially reducible at a later date.

- Fourth offense: Lifetime suspension.

Even having trouble obtaining insurance coverage might occur from a single conviction for stunt driving, which can cause significant increases in insurance rates.
