What is a licence |
 |
A "Licence" grants permission to do something which, without such permission, would be prohibited. As such, a Licence confers no property or other rights which can be legally sold, altered or bequeathed.
Essentially, it is a privilege to do something, subject to the terms and conditions of the Licence. |

- Police can issue an immediate roadside seven-day licence suspension and seven-day vehicle impoundment for street racing, participating in a driving contest or stunt driving
- The maximum fine increases from $1,000 to $10,000 upon conviction for street racing, making it the highest penalty in Canada. The minimum fine increases from $200 to $2,000.
- Courts can impose a driver licence suspension of up to 10 years for a second conviction, if the second conviction occurs within 10 years of the first conviction
- For a first conviction, the maximum licence suspension period remains at 2 years.
- The definition of a “driving stunt” includes driving a motor vehicle at 50 km/h or more above the posted speed limit.
- The Act also bans driving a motor vehicle on a highway with a connected nitrous oxide system. Some street racers use nitrous oxide to enhance the acceleration capabilities of their vehicle.
