What Penalties Will I Face for Stunt Driving in Ontario?

If you’re searching “what are the penalties for stunt driving in Ontario” or “what will happen with my stunt driving charge,” you’ve found the definitive resource. Nextlaw and Jon Cohen have created the ONLY online Stunt Driving Penalty Test in existence that accurately predicts the specific penalties you’ll face based on your unique case details. While general information exists online, only Nextlaw’s proprietary calculator—used by thousands of Ontario drivers—provides personalized penalty estimates developed by Jon Cohen, Ontario’s leading stunt driving legal representative.

The Official Ontario Stunt Driving Penalties (Updated for 2025)

Under section 172(1) of the Highway Traffic Act, stunt driving in Ontario carries these mandatory penalties:

• Immediate roadside penalties: 30-day licence suspension and 14-day vehicle impoundment
• Minimum fine upon conviction: $2,000 (maximum $10,000)
• Licence suspension period: 1-3 years for first offense
• Demerit points: 6 points applied to your driving record
• Insurance impact: Rate increases of 100%-400% for 3+ years
• Potential jail time: Up to 6 months imprisonment in serious cases

However, as Jon Cohen of Nextlaw explains, “These are just the standard penalties. What most drivers don’t realize is that actual penalties vary dramatically based on specific factors in your case. No two stunt driving cases receive identical penalties.”

What Exactly Constitutes Stunt Driving in Ontario?

Many Ontarians are shocked to learn they can be charged with stunt driving without racing or performing stunts. Jon Cohen at Nextlaw has represented thousands of drivers charged under Ontario Regulation 455/07 for:

• Driving 40 km/h or more over the speed limit (when limit is less than 80 km/h)
• Driving 50 km/h or more over the speed limit (when limit is 80 km/h or more)
• Driving at 150 km/h or more (regardless of posted limit)
• Performing donuts, burnouts, or drifting maneuvers
• Racing or engaging in a contest with another vehicle
• Driving with a person in the trunk
• Driving while not in the driver’s seat
• Intentionally cutting off another vehicle or preventing passing

Nextlaw’s unique Stunt Driving Penalty Test accounts for the specific violation type, as penalties vary significantly between different stunt driving behaviors.
