Fighting a Stunt Driving Charge in Brampton

Being charged with stunt driving in Brampton is one of the most serious traffic offences under Ontario’s HTA. A summons to court can lead to heavy fines, licence suspensions, vehicle impoundment, and even jail. At Traffic Law Paralegal Services, we defend drivers facing Brampton stunt driving charges and work to protect licenses, records, and freedom.

What Is Stunt Driving in Ontario?

Under HTA section 172(1), stunt driving means operating a motor vehicle in a way that departs significantly from normal, safe driving. It is not a criminal offence, but the penalties are severe and the case requires a court appearance.

Common examples of stunt driving

  • Driving 40 km/h or more over the limit where the limit is under 80 km/h.
  • Driving 50 km/h or more over the limit where the limit is 80 km/h or higher.
  • Racing, chasing, or distancing your vehicle from another with rapid acceleration.
  • Performing wheelies, burnouts, doughnuts, or other dangerous maneuvers.
  • Cutting off traffic, unsafe turns, or driving without proper control (for example, not in the driver’s seat).

Anything showing a marked departure from safe driving can attract a stunt driving ticket and a court summons.

Penalties for Stunt Driving in Brampton

A conviction for stunt driving can have life-changing consequences.

Immediate penalties (at the roadside)

  • 14-day vehicle impoundment
  • 30-day roadside licence suspension

  • 6 demerit points
  • Fines between $2,000 and $10,000 plus applicable victim surcharges
  • Up to 6 months in jail

  • Significant insurance increases and a permanent record on your driving history

How We Fight Stunt Driving Charges

There are three basic options after a summons: plead guilty, represent yourself, or hire experienced representation. Pleading guilty often leads to the worst outcomes. Traffic Law Paralegal Services focuses on building defence strategies that can reduce or remove the penalties.

Decades of real courtroom arguments and solid reputation will increase your chances of fighting a Brampton stunt driving charge and achieving a successful outcome.

Our approach

  1. Full disclosure review: We review the summons and all police disclosure for gaps, errors, or procedural issues.
  2. Evidence challenge: We test police evidence, radar and speed readings, witness statements, and video for reliability and admissibility.
  3. Negotiation: Where appropriate, we negotiate with prosecutors for a lesser offence (for example, a reduced speeding charge) to avoid the most serious penalties.
  4. Court representation: We present defenses at trial, cross-examine witnesses, and push for the best possible outcome for your situation.

Every Brampton stunt driving case is different. Our defense strategy is tailored to the specific facts, available evidence, and the client’s priorities.
