Sanctions – dangerous behaviours
The risk of a fatality or serious injury is almost five times greater for vehicles crashing at 50 km/h or more above the posted highway limit. The increase in risk is even greater on roads with lower posted limits. For example, on roads with a posted limit of 60 km/h or less, the risk of a fatality or serious injury is almost eight times greater for vehicles colliding at 50 km/h or more above the posted limit.
Other types of aggressive driving include:
- driving 40 km/h or more above the posted speed limit on roads with a speed limit less than 80km/h
- driving 50 km/h or more above the posted speed limit
- driving a motor vehicle to prevent another vehicle from passing
- intentionally cutting off another vehicle
- street racing
- driving stunts
The use of a connected nitrous-oxide system while driving on a highway is prohibited.
