Over the years we have seen an increase in stunt driving and street racing charges. This seems to be in part due to the increased focus on policing and prosecuting these types of offences. Stunt driving and street racing are considered a highway traffic offence. Despite not being a criminal charges, some are considered to be serious offences which can result in serious consequences.

If you are charged with stunt driving or racing you will face an automatic seven day licence suspension and vehicle impoundment.

If you are convicted of stunt driving or street racing you will face harsh penalties which could include:

• fines ranging from $2000 - $10,000
• jail sentence
• demerit points
• driver's licence suspension for up to two years

The consequences of such a conviction extend beyond what the courts impose. You will likely face significant increases in insurance premiums and may even be declined for insurance coverage. Licence suspensions and high insurance rates will affect your ability to drive, which will in turn impact employment and social opportunities. 

Given the severity of penalties associated with a conviction, it is important to consult a lawyer before pleading guilty to a stunt driving or street racing offence.
