Fix-A-Ticket negotiated a reduction of a client's stunt driving charge to a speeding offense under Ontario's Highway Traffic Act. The resolution reduced the client's demerit points from six to four and helped them avoid the more serious consequences of a stunt driving conviction.
How it unfolded
The Challenge
A client facing a stunt driving charge in Ontario had already received a 30 day roadside license suspension and a 14 day vehicle impoundment.
A stunt driving conviction could have resulted in significant financial penalties, six demerit points, and a mandatory license suspension of at least one year.
The client needed professional representation to explore options for reducing the charge and minimizing its long term consequences.
Our Approach
Mr. Abbadi carefully reviewed the circumstances of the charge and negotiated with the prosecution to pursue a more favorable resolution.
Through these negotiations, the original stunt driving charge was amended to a speeding offense under section 128 of Ontario's Highway Traffic Act.
The resolution also included the completion of a defensive driving course as a remedial measure.
The Outcome
The stunt driving charge was reduced to a speeding offense, resulting in:
This resolution significantly reduced the consequences the client would otherwise have faced if convicted of stunt driving.
