According to the Department of Transportation, drivers convicted of doing stunts in Ontario must now also complete a driver training course, otherwise their license will be revoked. The course must be selected from a list of companies approved by the government. “We are sending a clear message to dangerous drivers: there is no place for you on our roads,” the transport ministry tweeted on Friday. Anyone caught driving 40 km / h or more above the speed limit, where the speed limit is set at less than 80 km / h, will incur driving charges in Ontario. In areas where the speed limit is above 80 km / h, a motorist will incur driving charges if the limit is exceeded 50 km / h. Drivers also face a 30-day suspension of their driving license, as well as a 14-day vehicle freeze if they are seduced by police for bay driving. The maximum fine for driving a bay in Ontario is $ 10,000. You could also face up to six months in prison. According to police, speed-related deaths on the streets of Ontario reached a 10-year high with 81 deaths in 2021. A total of 315 people lost their lives on the road that year, an increase of 3 percent from 2020. Fatal accidents occurred as a result of 288 separate collisions. OPP said it recorded 19 more speed-related deaths than last year.
