Stunt & Careless Driving Charge Wizard
Stunt driving carries some of the most severe roadside consequences of any Ontario traffic offence — an immediate suspension and vehicle impoundment, before any court date. This wizard walks through your charge and circumstances to give you a personalized outlook and evidence checklist.
The Charge
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens immediately if I'm charged with stunt driving in Ontario?
Stunt driving carries an immediate roadside licence suspension of 30 days and vehicle impoundment for 14 days, along with a fine — these consequences apply immediately at the roadside, before any court date or conviction.
What is the difference between careless driving and stunt driving?
Stunt driving specifically targets excessive speed (50+ km/h over the limit, or speeds of 40 km/h or more in specific zones) and certain dangerous manoeuvres. Careless driving is broader, covering driving without due care and attention or reasonable consideration for others, regardless of speed.
Does this wizard predict my sentence or outcome?
No. This tool identifies the factors relevant to your specific situation and organizes next steps and evidence — it does not predict a court outcome or sentence, which depends on the evidence and legal argument a short questionnaire cannot capture.
Am I responsible for impound costs even if I'm not convicted?
Generally, yes — impound and towing fees accrue daily and are typically your responsibility regardless of the eventual outcome of the underlying charge, since the impoundment is a separate administrative measure.
Can careless driving become a criminal charge?
Careless driving causing bodily harm or death is treated much more seriously and carries substantially higher penalties. Separately, dangerous driving is a distinct Criminal Code offence that can apply to more serious driving conduct.
