"Little known fact about the "stunt driving" law:
The 1 week immediate suspension handed out is an ALS or "Administrative Licence Suspension" and is seperate to the stunting/racing charge.
What does that mean? That means even if your charges are dropped , the suspension stays on your record. The MTO cannot take the charge off if the charges are dropped, as the suspension is administered by the police, and not the MTO. the MTO only enforces it.
the ONLY way to have the suspension off your record, is by the police requesting the MTO to take it off your drivers record.
If they do not, it can and has in the past effected insurance rates (Administartive license suspensions are the same as suspension due to unpaid fines). It can stay on your insurance record for 3-6 years, effecting your rates for that period of time.
