As Nova Scotia’s Provincial Police, road safety is a top priority. In an effort to keep citizens informed about enforcement on our roadways, the RCMP is releasing statistics on stunting charges for the months of October to December 2024.
During this three-month period, Nova Scotia RCMP charged 55 drivers with stunting on a number of highways across the province. This includes 25 in October, 12 in November, and 18 in December. The following are examples of these offences:
- 182 Km/h in a 100 Km/h zone on Hwy. 105 in South Haven
- 197 Km/h while driving in Yarmouth (the newly licensed driver was drinking alcohol behind the wheel)
- 166 Km/h in a 100 Km/h zone on Hwy. 125 in Point Edward (newly licensed driver)
Anyone driving a motor vehicle 50 Km/hr or more over the speed limit may be charged with stunting.
The fine for stunting in Nova Scotia is $2,422.50 for a first offence, six points on your licence and an immediate seven-day roadside licence suspension.
Speed is one of the major causes of serious injury and fatal collisions on our roads. Road safety is a priority for the RCMP and drivers are reminded to make it their priority as well. If you see someone driving unsafely on our roads, please report it by calling the RCMP at 1-800-803-RCMP (7267). If you believe it’s an emergency, call 911.
