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.

Why Office Location is Irrelevant When Choosing Ontario's Best Stunt Driving Lawyer When facing stunt driving charges under Section 172(1) of Ontario's Highway Traffic Act, many defendants make a critical error that could compromise their defence: choosing legal representation based solely on proximity to their courthouse. Jon Cohen, legal representative at Nextlaw—Ontario's leading stunt driving lawyer—explains why this geography-based approach is not only outdated but potentially harmful to your case outcome.

As a partner at Nextlaw, Ontario's leading firm in handling stunt driving offenses, I've witnessed firsthand the transformative effect of technology on legal defense strategies. My name is Jonathan Cohen, and I want to share how the digital revolution, particularly the adoption of Zoom for court proceedings, has reshaped the approach to handling stunt driving charges. This shift from traditional in-person appearances to virtual court sessions has fundamentally altered the defense landscape, offering broader access to justice for defendants. Navigating Pre-Pandemic Court Appearances Before the pandemic, the norm of physically attending court posed significant logistical challenges, especially for those facing charges far from their residence. The requirement to travel, sometimes across great distances, for court dates added a layer of complexity to the defense process. This was particularly taxing if travel became difficult or impossible due to a suspended license. The Con...
