Stunt Driving Tickets

Stunt driving is an offence listed in section 172,1 of the Highway Traffic Act of Ontario.

• No person shall drive a motor vehicle on a highway in a race or contest, while performing a stunt or on a bet or wager.
• Every person who contravenes subsection (1) is guilty of an offence and on conviction is liable to a fine of not less than $2,000 and not more than $10,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than six months, or to both, and in addition his or her driver’s licence may be suspended:
  • on a first conviction under this section, for not more than two years; or
  • on a subsequent conviction under this section, for not more than 10 years.

Although section 172 of the HTA makes Stunt Driving an offence, the description of what is Stunt Driving is within Ontario Regulation 455/07.

Stunt driving tickets have serious penalties that can affect your ability to drive, insurance rates and your employment, including:

• six (6) demerit points
• immediate seven (7) day licence suspension
• immediate seven (7) day vehicle impoundment
• minimum fine of two thousand ($2000.00) dollars
• licence suspension of up to two years upon conviction
• possible imprisonment for a term of not more than six (6) months
• dramatic increase of insurance rates

At OTT Legal your case receives individual attention while we work to:

• to have the case dismissed,
• to save your demerit points,
• avoid licence suspensions, and
• avoid insurance rates from being increased

We charge a flat fee for services, there are no extra or hidden charges.

In disputing your traffic ticket, we order the officers notes, and fully investigate and prepare your case for trial. If there are any legal arguments to be filed, they are usually done at no extra charge to you.

On the trial date OTT Legal will have a trial agent, who is experienced in stunt driving defence, appear to fight your ticket. Most times you do not have to appear.

When we fight a stunt driving ticket, we look at four lines of defence:

• did the defendant actually do what the police officer is alleging?
• did the police officer do everything properly and then properly prepare the case for the court?
• did the prosecutors office do their job properly?
• did the court system do everything properly?

If there is an error in the prosecutions case, the charge can be dismissed.
