On Saturday night, traffic on a stretch of the busy highway came to a halt when a group of drivers blocked express and collector lanes to film stunts and partake in drag racing. Several videos shared on social media show multiple cars stopping in the middle of the highway lanes with their hazard lights flashing. At the same time, fireworks are set off in the background as other motorists part of the group gather around to film drivers performing burnouts.
In a new video of the incident, two cars are seen dangerously racing each other as multiple drivers pull off to the side of the highway and film the illegal stunts.Reactions to the video were mixed, although the majority of residents expressed anger towards the stunt drivers, arguing that illegal street racing has become far too common on Ontario highways. "Losers. Who is stopping them from doing the same at any racetrack? Spoiling it for everyone! Freaking losers.
If charged with stunt driving, drivers are subjected to an immediate 30-day roadside licence suspension, 14 days of vehicle seizure, and upon conviction, may face a maximum fine of $10,000, plus six demerit points, possible jail time, and licence suspension from one to three years.
