ICYMI: How do recent changes to Ontario law impact off-roaders? — via drivingdotca

The latest addendum to the law, however, is all about “specified places”. To tackle those whackadoodles hosting burnout parties in intersections and drifting sessions in parking lots, the law needed to extend beyond public roadways. Now, cops can apply stunt laws in, “ any parking lot, garage or structure, whether public or private, paved or unpaved, flat or multilevel, above or below grade, including any driveway or road that connects the parking lot to a highway.

“It has sparked quite a bit of discussion in our office, as the regulation has some specific exemptions, but private property is not one of them. My interpretation of this legislation is that it is to protect people from the dangers that these stunt drivers put them in, in areas that the public has access to or may be found.”

That answer left too much room for interpretation, so I did as Sgt Murray suggested and contacted the Ministry of Transportation. “The expansion of the stunt driving penalties to specified off-highway places does not preclude an off-road motorcycle from operating in these places. However, it prohibits an off-road motorcycle rider from engaging in street racing/stunt driving in these places or risk facing the associated penalties outlined in s.172 of the Highway Traffic Act.
