MAJOR CONVICTION STIGMA

STUNTING TICKETS IN ALBERTA.

A stunting conviction is 3 points, racing is 6 points — the same penalty tier as careless driving.

Stunting Ticket

A SMALL TICKET WITH A BIG STIGMA.

Drivers are often surprised by how easily this charge gets laid. You don't need to have been in an organised street race. Spinning the tires leaving a light, a loud acceleration, a manoeuvre an officer reads as showing off these can get written up as stunting.

The fine hurts. The insurance consequence hurts more. Stunting is a major conviction, and it carries a stigma with insurers that a comparable speeding ticket doesn't. Racing is also a major conviction- just as bad as Careless Driving for Insurance. Younger drivers get hit hardest, because they were already paying the most.

HOLDING CROWN TO THE DEFINITION

INTENTIONAL VS ACCIDENTAL TRACTION LOSS.

We hold the Crown to the definition. "Stunting" is broadly worded, and broad wording cuts both ways — the gap between what happened and what the charge requires is where these cases are won.

Whether loss of traction was intentional — which in Alberta winters is often a genuine question — is key to building a strong defence.

$852 as of March 13, 2026, plus six demerit points. Racing carries the same penalty.

Yes, and it’s one of the most common versions we see. Whether it holds up depends on whether the Crown can show the loss of traction was intentional — which in Alberta winters is often a genuine question.

Generally, yes. Insurers treat stunting as a major conviction. A moderate speeding ticket is a minor conviction. The difference in how you’re rated, and in which insurers will quote you, can be substantial.

In some circumstances a vehicle can be seized. If your vehicle was seized, call us right away — those timelines are short.

Yes, the provisions cover more than racing. But “more than racing” also means more room to argue about what actually happened. This is a charge worth testing rather than paying.

Six. Same as careless driving. That’s a large share of the fifteen points that suspend a full licence, and most of the eight that suspend a GDL.
