Ontario Stunt Driving Emergency Pre-Court Checklist

Ontario Stunt Driving Emergency Pre-Court Checklist

You were just charged with Stunt Driving or Racing in Ontario, and you are still at the roadside.  Or maybe you are being charged as you read this.  Here is the checklist that you must follow, so that you make sure everything goes smoothly.


✅ Take someone with you to get your car out of impound


Remember, your impound is only 14 days, but your license suspension is 30 days.  This means your car can be picked up 16 days before you are able to drive.  Take a friend or family member with you to get the car, so they can drive it home.  Do not pay for even 1 extra day in impound.  It is expensive.


✅ Go to Service Ontario on day 30 of your suspension


Get your license out of suspension right away.  Go to any Service Ontario, bring your documentation from the officer, and you should get your license back right away, at no cost.  Your license is in administrative suspension, and as of when this article is written, there is no charge to get it back.  You will get a temporary license and a new copy will be mailed to your address.


✅ Get some legal advice right away


Your court date is approaching, and you need to be prepared.  You are facing a 1-3 year license suspension.  That is worth everything.  Get a proper strategy, or at least get educated by speaking to a law firm that specializes in Stunt Driving.  This could make all the difference between driving and not driving.  It's always worth the call - https://meeting.nextlaw.ca - book the call today.
