    Across the border, in Ontario, get caught speeding 50km over (31 miles) and the following happens:

    1. Car is immediately seized, and stored at $250/day. You also get charged for towing.

    2. Fines up to $10,000, repeat offences, jail time up to 6 months.

    3. 14 day licence suspension.

    4. Insurance is cancelled, shunting you to predatory insurers who charge between $18-30,000 a year. 5 years minimum.

    So just one charge like this will cost up to $150,000.

    Street racing was out of control. This law ended it.

      Sure, thats the letter of the law. But those maximums are rarely given out. In those cases of real “stunt driving” the driver is usually some rich kid who gets off with a fine. 14 day suspension? Drive anyway. So many suspended drivers out there dont care. No enforcement especially since carbrain drug ford runs the place now.

      And forget stunt driving for a second… the reality, is people regularly go 40 over limit with zero enforcement.
