How many points will be deducted for occasionally driving at 160 km/h on the highway?

If you drive at 160 km/h in a 120 km/h speed limit zone, which is 33% over the speed limit, according to the new traffic regulations, the penalty is a deduction of 6 points. Here is some extended information: Laws and regulations: Highways should clearly mark the speed limits for each lane. The maximum speed should not exceed 120 km/h, and the minimum speed should not be lower than 60 km/h. On highways, the maximum speed for small passenger vehicles should not exceed 120 km/h, while other motor vehicles should not exceed 100 km/h. Lane speed limits: For roads with two lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the left lane is 100 km/h. For roads with three or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the leftmost lane is 110 km/h, and the minimum speed for the middle lane is 90 km/h.

Last time on the highway, I accidentally sped up to 160 km/h and got caught by a speed camera. A 6-point deduction and a 200-yuan fine came together. A traffic police friend told me that currently, exceeding the speed limit by over 20% but less than 50% on highways usually results in this penalty package. For example, on a road with a 120 km/h limit, driving over 144 km/h falls into this category. Hitting 160 km/h is almost 33% over the limit, so getting fined was inevitable. I suggest everyone take it easy—after accelerating to overtake, remember to check the dashboard and slow down. Nowadays, speed cameras have been upgraded to catch even momentary speeding. It’s really not worth it!

Personal experience tells you, I've been caught speeding at 160 km/h twice, each time resulting in 6 demerit points and a 200 yuan fine. Exceeding the 120 km/h speed limit by 40 km is considered a relatively serious violation. The era when speeding less than 20% only resulted in a warning without demerit points is over; now even a slight excess can lead to demerits. Once in Jiangxi, I was directly caught by a mobile speed camera, with no chance to appeal. Safety first is one thing, but the key is that speeding to 160 km/h is really dangerous; with even a slight situation, braking becomes too late.

Tested twice at 160 km/h and got caught by speed cameras. On a road with a 120 km/h speed limit, exceeding by 33% falls under the traffic regulation category of 'exceeding the speed limit by more than 20% but less than 50%'. Don't ask how I know—last year's record of being caught on the coastal highway is still lying in the Traffic Management 12123 app—uniformly 6 points deducted and a 200-yuan fine. Some strictly controlled sections impose even harsher penalties. It's highly recommended not to exceed 150 km/h on highways, as speeding in sections with average speed monitoring will definitely get you caught.

I learned my lesson the hard way about driving at 160 km/h. Last year on the Hangrui Expressway, I hit 163 km/h and received a text message two weeks later: 32% over the speed limit, 6 points deducted, and a 200 yuan fine. I specifically checked the legal provisions—this is the penalty standard for exceeding the speed limit by 20%-50%. A word of caution: many newly built expressways suddenly have 100 km/h speed limit signs. Driving at 160 km/h in such sections directly counts as exceeding by 60%, which means 12 points deducted! Moreover, speeding fines are now nationwide, so out-of-town violations must be dealt with too.

A friend just got 6 points deducted for driving at 162 km/h on the highway. Exceeding the 120 km/h speed limit by 42 km/h has already crossed the penalty threshold. With nationwide network connectivity now, it's almost impossible to escape speeding fines, as many cars' built-in navigation systems alert drivers to speed traps. Going less than 20% over might only warrant a warning, but 160 km/h definitely crosses the penalty line. The most troublesome part is accumulating penalty points - just two instances are enough to require retaking the written driving test. I sincerely advise everyone to control their right foot, especially on downhill sections which are particularly dangerous. At 160 km/h, the braking distance in an emergency situation can exceed 100 meters!
