Reaction on X was swift and negative.

“Wow wow wow that’s NASCAR speed coming out of a turn. Have to make the stunt law harsher crack city Ontario,” wrote one person.

Another poster agreed.

“1st offence – suspend licence for 1 year and $3,000 fine … 2nd offence – remove license PERMANENTLY,” they said.
