Nope, the police will hold the vehicle for 7 days. You will get charged the 7 days rental most likely AND you will get billed for the impound fees and the pick up fees from Enterprise. There was even a case last year where one police department clocked a police officer from another department, off duty, in an unmarked police car and they impounded the car same as any others and held it for the mandated period. The police have no say in the matter, its the law. . . The fact that you were not performing a stunt has no bearing. 'Stunting" is just the term for driving stupid over a certain threshold. As for the fine, the Judge may knock it down but don't count on it. Financial hardship is not a reason they normally consider. They may give you longer to pay it though. Absolute liability offences are not automatically unconstitutional. Refusing a breath sample is one such offence that is absolute liability in that you either took the test or refused. So is traffic tickets for following too closely if you rear end someone. . . As far as your insurance is concerned, all provinces share drivers info and the insurance companies keep their own databases of accidents and major tickets such as this. Your Manitoba driving record will follow you to Ontario and so will the insurance info.
