The provincial government has introduced amendments to the Traffic Safety Act to deter people from stunting, racing and excessive speeding. 

The amendments introduced Wednesday will allow police to immediately suspend driver’s licenses and impound vehicles if a driver has been charged with stunting, racing or excessive speeding. 

"This is the first step in strengthening the penalties for stunting and racing in Saskatchewan; our government also intends to increase the fines for these offences once the amendment has passed," Minister Responsible for SGI Don Morgan said. "As well, by better defining what constitutes racing and stunting, police can more easily enforce these offences, and put a stop to these dangerous behaviours." 

Stunting is described in the Traffic Safety Act as a driver performing or engaging in any stunt or activity that is likely to distract, startle or interfere with other users of the road. This applies to passengers in the vehicle, and pedestrians and bystanders as well.
