The stunt driving charge includes a 30-day licence suspension and the vehicle is impounded for 14 days.

Driving dangerously fast and endangering the lives of other drivers and then flees from the cops and is still allowed to drive after a month?

There is something seriously wrong here.

It's an automatic suspension and impounding. It will almost certainly be extended and other punishments will be handed down, but those repercussions hit immediately, no questions asked.

Stuff like this should qualify for a lifetime suspension from driving. Extreme disregard to the safety of others.

This should be automatic vehicle seizure and at least a decade-long license suspension.

That nice little BMW you clocked at 230+? It's going to fund the next OPP picnic.

Stunt driving is a pretty serious crime that can have jail time, this is just what they can do without a trial.
