Stunt Driving and Careless Driving are Highway Traffic Act offences and each carry serious negative consequences, including prolonged suspensions, increased insurance and jail sentences.

Stunt Driving Definition

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 roadway in a race or contest,

    • while performing a stunt or

    • on a bet or wager

    • to imprisonment for a term of not more than six months, or to both, and

    • a mandatory 1 year licence suspension
