Stunt driving means "driving in excess of 50 km/h over the posted
speed limit". It's an Orwellian redefinition of words, in order to
make a new law sound good to the public and the media while actually
having a harmful effect.
Anyone hearing of the proposed law was intended to think that only
"Evel Kneivel" types would be affected, little knowing that 80mph in a
50mph zone while passing a slower vehicle would result in losing thier
car.
