What the charge means

Highway Traffic Act s.172
Stunt Driving charges in Brampton, Ontario.
Quick Answer — Brampton
A stunt driving charge in Ontario triggers an immediate 30-day licence suspension and 14-day vehicle impound at the roadside — before any court appearance. A paralegal can fight the conviction on speed measurement grounds, potentially avoiding the additional 1–3 year licence suspension, the $2,000–$10,000 fine, and the devastating insurance consequences that follow.
Brampton stunt driving charges split by who laid them: the OPP on the 410, the 407 and Highway 50, and Peel Regional Police on Hurontario and the city streets. Both end up at the Ray Lawson court, but they arrive as different files — different officers, different equipment, different notes and a different disclosure package. Point Duty Traffic Court Defence starts a Brampton stunt file by identifying which service is behind it, because that shapes what there is to work with.
40+ km/h over (in 80 km/h zones or less) or 50+ km/h over (above 80 km/h) triggers automatic 30-day licence suspension and 14-day vehicle impound at roadside.

Common Questions — Brampton
Where is a stunt driving charge heard in Brampton?
- Brampton stunt driving matters are heard at Brampton Provincial Offences Court, 5 Ray Lawson Boulevard, Brampton, ON L6Y 5L7. The court's number is (905) 450-4770. Point Duty appears there.
Who lays stunt driving charges in Brampton?

How long does a stunt driving charge take in Brampton?
- Point Duty Traffic Court Defence sees Peel traffic matters run 6 to 12 months from charge to resolution. It varies more here than it does in Toronto, where the range sits at the top of that band rather than across it.
How does the prosecutor handle stunt driving in Brampton?
- Peel prosecutors will resolve a matter either way. You can ask for an early resolution meeting, and the trial date is still a live opportunity to deal — a real difference from Toronto, where the prosecutors have been saying resolutions are not available on the date of trial. On a first offence the usual landing spot in Peel is a reduction to a lesser offence. Point Duty Traffic Court Defence works both openings at the Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon courts.
What else should I know about Brampton Provincial Offences Court?
- Reopenings can be emailed to the Peel Provincial Offences courts. That is worth knowing if you have dealt with Toronto, where a reopening has to be delivered in person and cannot be emailed. Peel has three separate POA courts — Mississauga on Burnhamthorpe Road, Brampton on Ray Lawson Boulevard and Caledon on Old Church Road — and your ticket goes to the one for the municipality where it was issued.
