Stunt Driving Tickets Ontario
Stunt driving is considered a very serious offence in Ontario, because speeding and aggressive driving will not only put the drivers life at risk but also the lives of others on the road. Not only is it never worth it, carrying high penalties, it is dangerous and illegal.
Many unlawful acts on the road can lead to a stunt driving ticket. Stunt driving include driving 40 km/h or more over the speed limit on roads that are 80km/h or less. Driving 50 km/h or more on all roads. Driving in a way that prevents others to pass, and intentionally cutting off another driver, or intentially driving too close to others including vehicles, pedestrians or fixed objects. Street racing, chasing another vehicle, and, changing lanes repeatedly at high rates of speed including wavering through traffic can also result in a stunt charge.

How many demerit points do I have?It is a misconception that we start with a certain amount of demerit points and that we can lose them. Demerit points get added on to your driving record if you are convicted of an offence. Every driver regardless of the driving class start with zero points. Depending on the class of licence you have you can only get to a certain amount before your licence is taken away. As a driver with a full licence meaning “G” class, if accumulate up to 15 points on your driving record you will be suspended for 30 days. Accumulating 6-8 points will result in a warning letter, and anything from 9-14 will result in a warning letter and an interview to improve your driving behaviour. As a Novice driver on the other hand accumulating 9 points will result in a 60 day licence suspension.
