A man from Gatineau, Que., is facing a $3,500 fine and 22 demerit points after leading police on a high-speed chase Tuesday night with only a learner's permit.
The officers started to pursue him and the motorcyclist sped away, reaching a top speed of about 185 km/h, which forced officers to temporarily call off their chase for safety reasons.
After Gatineau police were called in, the motorcyclist went the wrong way on a highway exit, lost control and crashed, police said.
He escaped without injury and police discovered he had a learner's permit.
His licence has been suspended for seven days, and the motorcycle has been impounded for 30 days.
Besides the fine and demerit points, the motorcyclist faces charges including evading police and dangerous driving.
somehow the license being pulled for a week seems mighty lenient in comparison to the rest of the fines and points keeping in mind we as Canadians get 14 on our license total.

If he has 22 demerits on his learner's permit, doesn't that mean he has to start from square one again? ANd if he does get his license, he'll have 8 on it to begin with?
To my understanding, that's how it would work in America. If you rack up too many points on a permit, you have to start from the beginning of driver's ed again.

tbh honest ive never heard of anyone getting 22 points...if you have a full G and get more then the 14 limit you lose your license completely - and start from scratcg..having a learners permit and doing this kind of stunt usually means youre banned from driving for awhile - much less reapplying to get your license..however all those assume you have your license already..

I don't get the "only in Quebec" part. There are no high speed chases elsewhere? The 1 week suspension? That is immediate. Once he's found guilty, either by paying the fine or by a judge's decision, the points will kick in, and he'll be 12 months, maybe more, without a license.

the only in QC is the 22 points given in a system that supports 14...just say hes lost his license and the length is undetermined at this point - saying he loses it for a week after what he did makes QC look messed up.

The police tallied up all of his infractions, which amounts to 22 points. He'll most likely fight this in court, the judge will maybe remove 2-3 infractions, but he'll still end up without a license for a year. A friend of mine had something similar.
It's also similar to getting a 500-year prison sentence: even if you're a good boy, you'll rot there.

Again?? I posted a similar story a year ago. Seriously...Quebec is too much on the map these months.
