The province is increasing the penalties for street racing or stunt driving. The definition of the offence includes driving 50 kilometres an hour above the posted speed limit. A first conviction will now result in a one-year license suspension, three years for a second offense, and ten years for a third conviction.
Also, fines are being doubled for drivers caught using a hand-held cell phone while driving. Plus you’ll get four points on your driving record.
