Stunt Driving in Barrie — how it actually works

Stunt driving under section 172 is a Part III offence — you receive a summons, not a set-fine ticket, and the matter goes to court. (Source: barrie.ca; ontario.ca.)

Stunt driving is a Part III offence, so there is no set fine to pay — you are served with a summons and the matter is set down at the Barrie court. See how stunt driving charges work in Ontario for the penalty ranges and the roadside consequences that apply before any court date.

The roadside penalties happen first: your licence is suspended for 30 days at the roadside and your vehicle is impounded for 14 days, both administrative, both before a court has heard anything. The work we do at the Barrie court is on the underlying charge — reviewing full disclosure, testing whether an Early Resolution reduction to a lesser HTA offence is available, and preparing for trial if it isn't. For the full penalty ranges, see the Ontario stunt-driving overview.

Stunt Driving in Barrie

Where is stunt driving prosecuted in Barrie?

At the Barrie Provincial Offences Court, 45 Cedar Pointe Drive, Barrie, ON L4N 5R7 — the court that hears every s.172 charge laid within the City of Barrie, whether the charging officer was OPP (Highway 400/11) or Barrie Police Service (Bayfield, Dunlop, city streets). (Source: barrie.ca.)

How do I fight a stunt driving charge in Barrie?

Because stunt driving is a Part III offence, you'll receive a summons rather than a set-fine ticket. Respond by pleading guilty, requesting an Early Resolution meeting with the prosecutor to try to negotiate a lesser HTA charge, or setting the matter down for trial. Disclosure drives everything that comes after.

Can I get my Barrie vehicle impound or licence suspension back sooner?

The 30-day roadside licence suspension and the 14-day vehicle impound are administrative penalties imposed at the roadside under HTA s.172. They run separately from the court case and are generally not shortened by the court. We focus on the underlying charge to protect you from the far larger conviction-level consequences.
