At the Impaired Driving Defence Centre, we provide vigorous, results-oriented representation for people accused of stunt driving, dangerous driving and other offences in Ontario. Our lawyers understand the many defences available in such cases, and we will work diligently to obtain the best possible outcome for you.
Stunt driving is a crime carrying serious consequences in Ontario. If you are convicted, you face the possibility of:
- A fine of up to $2,000
- A jail sentence of up to six months
- The suspension of your driver's licence for up to a year
- Impoundment of your vehicle
The potential penalties upon conviction are serious, so don't even consider pleading guilty until you learn about your defence options. Contact the Impaired Driving Defence Centre today for a no-charge consultation about your case.
Our staff includes a licensed paralegal who can provide quality representation for a reasonable fee. Or if you choose, one of our Toronto stunt driving defence lawyers can represent you.
Assertive Defence for People Charged With Stunt Driving
Driving more than 50 kilometres above the speed limit is considered stunt driving, which is a violation of section 172 of the Criminal Code. Other driving behaviours, such as racing, interfering with the movement of another vehicle, lingering too long in the oncoming traffic lane while passing a vehicle, or doing a "wheelie" on a motorcycle, can also be the basis for a charge of stunt driving.
There may be one or more defences that could possibly be employed for each of these behaviours. For example, in a case involving speeding, we may be able to successfully challenge the accuracy of the police estimation of the speed you were driving — enabling us to reduce the charge to a regular speeding violation carrying less serious penalties.
The Impaired Driving Defence Centre will thoroughly review all aspects of your case and develop an appropriate defence strategy. Our goal will be to obtain the best possible result for you.
