The 23-year-old woman is also charged with speeding and faces a 30-day driver's licence suspension.
Additionally, the vehicle she was driving was towed to the impound yard for 14 days due to the stunt driving offence.
Anyone caught speeding 40 km/h or more over the posted speed limit in a zone with a speed limit of less than 80 km/h faces an automatic stunt driving charge.
