About The Offence
Section 172 (1) of the Highway Traffic Act states:
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. 2007, c. 13, s. 21. Example: Speeding, 50 km’s over the posted speed limit.
Stunt Driving does not only mean you were racing or driving 50 km’s or more over the posted speed limit. Driving with a person in the trunk of a motor vehicle or driving a motor vehicle in a manner that indicates an intention to cause some or all of its tires to lose traction with the surface of the highway while turning constitutes stunt driving as well. Your legal representative at POINTTS will carefully review your specific charge and determine the right path for a successful outcome.
