Stunt Driving
About This Charge
Few charges move as fast as stunt driving. Under section 172 of the Highway Traffic Act, the consequences begin at the roadside: a 30-day licence suspension and a 14-day vehicle impoundment, on the strength of one officer's decision, before a court has heard a word. A conviction is heavier still. A first offence carries a mandatory licence suspension of one to three years, fines between $2,000 and $10,000, six demerit points, and a real possibility of jail. R.S. Walia has handled section 172 charges for three decades. He works through the disclosure in detail — how your speed was measured, whether the equipment was tested, what the officer actually recorded — and looks for the opening that protects your licence and keeps the charge off your record.
Potential Consequences
- 30-day immediate roadside licence suspension
- Vehicle impounded for 14 days
- Fines of $2,000 to $10,000 on conviction
- 6 demerit points on conviction
- Mandatory 1–3 year licence suspension on a first conviction
Why Representation Matters
A traffic charge is not proven simply because it was laid. The prosecution has to satisfy a number of technical requirements — accurate officer notes, properly calibrated equipment, a stop conducted the way the law requires. Where one of those is missing or flawed, a charge can be reduced or dropped. Mr. Walia goes through the disclosure on every file precisely to find that ground before the case is ever called.
