Stunting and Street Racing Penalties in Saskatchewan
Since May 1, 2024, getting caught stunting, racing, or driving 50 km/h or more over the limit (or more than double the posted limit) in Saskatchewan means an immediate 30-day vehicle impoundment and a 7-day licence suspension — on top of the fine.
What counts as stunting or racing
- Racing side by side with another vehicle while disobeying the speed limit
- Chasing another vehicle
- Speeding in and out of lanes to unsafely pass
- Lifting some or all tires off the road (including riding a motorcycle on one wheel)
- Attempting to spin or circle a vehicle
- Driving without sitting in the driver's seat
- Blocking another vehicle from passing
- Stopping or slowing down to interfere with another vehicle's movement
Fines
| Offence | Fine (includes surcharge) |
|---|---|
| Stunting | $580 |
| Street racing — 1st offence | $580 |
| Street racing — 2nd offence (within 1 year) | $1,400 |
| Street racing — 3rd+ offence (within 1 year) | $2,100 |
These are significant increases from the penalties in place before October 1, 2022 (stunting was previously $150; a first racing offence was $205).
Why it's treated so seriously
Stunting and racing reduce your reaction time and control of the vehicle, sharply increasing collision risk for you, other drivers, and pedestrians — which is why SGI pairs the fine with an automatic impoundment and suspension rather than leaving it to a case-by-case decision.

Does speeding alone count as stunting in Saskatchewan?
Only if you're 50 km/h or more over the limit, or driving more than double the posted speed limit — regular speeding is handled under separate speeding penalties.
