Even though car surfing and street racing are prohibited and dangerous activities, some people still take the risk of facing stiff penalties and putting lives in danger.
In 2013, there were 55 criminal convictions related to car surfing in Québec.
Offences for street racing decreased between 2008 and 2013, from 384 to 102 per year.
Whether you are the driver, a passenger, the car surfer or the person lending their vehicle to someone who participates in such activities, the same penalties apply to everyone.
In addition to putting lives in danger, car surfing is an offence with costly consequences. See What the Law Says.

I want to go a step further and not just provide basic answers but give people all the information they need. It feels great to get off the phone with someone who seems satisfied.
