Ministry said violators, if convicted of stunt driving, can have their licence suspended for:

  • Up to 3 years for a 1st offence
  • 10 years for a 2nd offence
  • For life on a 3rd offence

“It’s not worth the risk,” it said.

Considering that stunt driving is a choice to put lives in danger, they don't care about risk.

Why even bother with a three-strike system for something like this?

Do 3 years in jail with no chance of ever driving again.

Say, $5k fine, 6-12 month license suspension with mandatory classes and retraining, and at least 1 month vehicle impound for first offence.

Second offense could be $10k fine, a few months in jail, permanent suspension, and vehicle confiscation.

I could be behind that. It's way better than what's currently being proposed.
