Stunt driving is rather frequent offence in Toronto. Are you the one of those extreme-lovers? Then you should clearly understand what stunt driving and racing on the Toronto roads can cause. Let’s at first look, how the Toronto legislation defines stunt driving:

Speeding more than 50 km/h;

Driving at a marked departure indicating competition;

Chasing another motor vehicle;

Driving a motor vehicle without due care and attention (Careless Driving);

Driving in a manner that can endanger another person;

Repeatedly changing lines close to other vehicles;

Driving with intention to "lift tires";

Deliberately loosing wheel traction;

Driving while not occupying driver’s seat.

Stunt driving and racing is regarded as rather serious offences. Having received a traffic ticket in Toronto for stunt driving, you should be aware of consequences.

So what are the penalties for this type of traffic ticket?

Immediate license suspension for seven days;

Immediate vehicle impoundment for seven days;

Fine within the bounds from two to ten thousand dollars;

License suspension up to two years;

Six demerit points

To put it another way, if you are stopped for stunt driving/racing by the police, you should be ready to surrender your driving license. You cannot operate your motor vehicle. Your car will be impounded, even if you’re not the owner. It cannot be released to any person during seven days. Next step in case with this traffic ticket is the trial in court. You can go for it by yourself, but it will be better to hire the defendant. Our paralegal can help you with the ticket for stunt driving. If you fail to appear in court the Justice of Peace may issue a warrant for you to appear. If you have the second traffic ticket for stunt driving, then your driving license will be suspended for up to ten years, you can be imprisoned for 6 months, and your insurance will increase for 100%.

Stunt driving and racing ticket is newly enacted legislation, which came to forth in year 2007. It is a serious enforcement tool the police have to combat street racing. As you could have seen above, it is a charge of multiple applications. So what should you do to improve the situation with this traffic ticket? The best decision is to call a paralegal to defend you in court. You can ask why pay a paralegal more, than your ticket costs? But count the insurance premiums that will greatly increase after your sentence for stunt driving. Counting this, you will clearly feel the benefit of hiring the defendant.
