Did you get charged with speeding and stunt driving ?

This is a huge impact on your life. What happens in court is secondary to the ramifications down the road. Your insurance company may refuse to insure you and, if they do, you will be paying astronomic premiums. If found guilty in court you can, under the law, go to jail but this is incredibly unlikely unless there are all sorts of other circumstances such as previous instances of excessive speed so I wouldn't worry about that. You will get a significant fine and that's on top of the tow and storage charges that you will have already incurred. You can choose to fight the charge and, for that you will want to plead not guilty and then ask for disclosure. Posting it here will get you some advice from the board members as to whether the think you have a life of defence. You may get, or you can ask for, a deal from the crown of 49 over which is a speeding ticket but not stunting. If that is offered I would bite his/her hand off. I would never recommend someone goes to trial on a stunt charge unless they have a slam dunk defence - the consequences of being found guilty are just too extreme.

My first ticket was 15 over in a 50 so that would impact it significantly too ? And any recommendations on law representative?

A second speeding ticket would cause an increase but nothing like a stunt charge.

Hi everyone. I'm asking for a friend who has a question of interpretation.
He was ticketed for using a hand-held device. He contends that he was acting within the exemption provided under Subsection 14 (1) of O. Reg. 366/09, which reads as follows (emphasis added):

People are Driving Faster
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
136km/h in a 100km/hr, possible win?
On June 10, 2017, I was pulled over by an OPP on the 403 heading WB and told I registered 136km/hr. I kept chit chat to a minimum and took my ticket and went on with my day. I later requested my disclosure and did not receive it until a week before my Oct. 27 court date, and so I had my date…
Ontario reintroducing Photo Radar/Speed Cameras?
Anyone know any more information? Apparently kathleen wynne mentioned trying to introduce legislation after more than 20 years of no speed cameras. My guess is that it wont happen, since they've tried before many times to bring it back after it was abolished.
Slowest of multiple targets, ticketed anyway....
The other day I was given a ticket for speeding 119 in a 90, on highway 17 near Marathon, ON (Speeding ticket capital of the universe, BTW). The officer claims to have "clocked" me using the vehicle mounted radar at 121 KMH and dropped it (presumably to lower fine and demerits).
I was not going that…

going 50 over the limit
If the speed limit is 50, and you do 100+, not only do you get 6 points. Your car gets impounded for a week, and your license suspended for 7 days, along with a hefty fine of at least $2000. The penalty is actually the same as for racing. The law came in effect on October 1, 2007. Remember -…

I was driving westbound on Hwy. 8 earlier this month in North Dumfries Township, approaching the Cambridge city limits. The weather was clear and the roads were dry.
