A recent spike in stunt driving offences is sounding alarm bells for local officials, as Ottawa continues to struggle with illegal stunt driving and street racing on city roadways.

According to Ottawa Police Service (OPS) data, as of Oct. 17, there have been 623 stunt driving and related offences this year — including tickets for stunt driving, street racing and careless driving.

Significantly increase fines and take licenses away for much longer periods. After each such ticket, roll a die, and if the result is odd, squash their vehicle into a cube. Or sell it and give the proceeds to a local hospital.
