According to the formula for calculating speeding (as shown below), the percentage of speeding = (80-70)/70×100%≍14.3%. Driving at 80 mph in a 70 mph zone constitutes speeding and will result in corresponding penalties. According to regulations, driving a motor vehicle 10%-20% over the speed limit will result in a deduction of 3 points. Speeding between 10% and 20%: As per regulations, speeding less than 10% results in a warning without any point deduction or fine; speeding between 10% and 20% results in a deduction of 3 points and a fine. Speeding over 20%: As per regulations, speeding between 20% and 50% results in a deduction of 6 points and a fine; speeding over 50% results in a deduction of 12 points, a fine, temporary suspension of the driver's license, and mandatory training.
