Stunt Driving & Racing
Roadside seizure, suspension, and a charge with insurance and licensing consequences for years.
Stunt driving (HTA s.172) is one of the harshest provincial charges in Ontario. At the roadside, your licence is suspended for 30 days and your vehicle is impounded for 14 days — before any court hearing. A conviction adds a minimum 1-to-3-year licence suspension, a fine of $2,000–$10,000, six demerits, and the kind of insurance impact most drivers cannot absorb.
The threshold is low: 40 km/h over the limit (in a 80 zone or less), 50 km/h over (in 80+ zones), or any speed of 150 km/h or more. Brief manoeuvres — a lane change, a quick acceleration — can also support a stunt charge.
Defending a stunt charge requires fast action. Muna reviews officer notes, equipment calibration, the road sign zone, and the disclosure for any opening to reduce the charge or pursue a withdrawal. Early intervention is critical.
