Understanding the consequences of a Stunt Driving charge can be a bit puzzling as it impacts three areas of your driving life - the points against your license, your driver's record, and how insurance companies see your record. Let's break down each of these areas.

How long do Stunt Driving Demerit Points stay on your record?

If you're convicted for Stunt Driving in Ontario, you get 6 demerit points on your driver's license. These points come from the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) and they stay on your record for two years. So, two years after the date of your conviction (not when you received the ticket), these points will be removed from your record.

How long does a Stunt Driving conviction stay on your Driving Record?

Regrettably, a Stunt Driving conviction on your Ontario driver's record is permanent. It's part of your driving history since you got your license. This means that if you ever face future charges, this conviction can be referred to in court. It's up to the prosecutor whether or not to consider your Stunt Driving history when dealing with future charges.

How long does a Stunt Driving conviction remain with Insurance Companies?

Insurance companies handle this in various ways, so it's difficult to say for certain. Generally, after three years, insurance companies might consider your record clear. However, Stunt Driving is a serious charge, so each company decides how long they'll see you as a high risk driver based on that particular incident.

The bottom line...get legal help

While it might seem self-serving to advise getting legal help, it's genuinely the best course of action. A Stunt Driving ticket in Ontario can have lasting effects on your driving life. The best way to handle a Stunt Driving case is with a well-thought-out legal strategy that could potentially prevent the charge from ever appearing on your record.

Getting your license back after a DUI can feel overwhelming. As a DUI lawyer, I'll explain the steps required to get you back on the road. Understanding the Suspension Process Immediate Administrative Suspension The moment you're charged with a DUI, you face a 90-day administrative driving license suspension. This occurs before any conviction and operates independently from court penalties. Your vehicle will be towed and impounded immediately. Court-Ordered Suspensions Upon conviction, judges must impose minimum driving prohibitions: - First offense: One-year minimum - Second offense: Two to five years - Third offense: Three years to life The final duration depends on aggravating factors in your case.

Here's what happens to it in court. A speeding ticket in Windsor that reaches its trial date often goes to an actual trial. According to NextLaw Analysis of Ontario Court of Justice data, since 2023 Windsor's court tried two in five speeding charges on their trial date (40%), against one in ten (10%) across Ontario. Windsor's court, which also hears Essex County tickets, settles most contested speeding charges early and tries more of what's left than almost any Ontario court. The data can't tell you what happens to your insurance, but it shows when your decision matters: before the trial date. https://youtu.be/vG4HEUU231c Speeding ticket Windsor: a court that actually holds trials Since 2023, Windsor's court tried 2 in 5 speeding charges on their trial date (40%), against 1 in 10 across Onta...
