What are the penalties and points deduction for a car exceeding the speed limit by more than 50%?

According to relevant regulations, if the speed exceeds the prescribed limit by more than 50%, the driver's license will be directly revoked. According to relevant regulations, if the speed exceeds 50% or more, a fine will be imposed.
I remember hearing experienced drivers talk about this before - exceeding the speed limit by over 50% really brings severe penalties. A friend of mine was caught doing 160 km/h on the highway by speed cameras, resulting in immediate deduction of all 12 points on his license and having to retake the written test from scratch. The fines are even more brutal, starting at 200 RMB minimum and going up to 2,000 RMB - that's half a month's salary gone. And it doesn't end there - if you're caught speeding this much in bad weather or school zones, traffic police might even impound your vehicle. My advice? Keep checking your speedometer, memorize speed limit signs, especially on unfamiliar roads where it's better to be slightly under the limit. At the end of the day, points and fines are minor issues - what's truly terrifying is causing an accident that could harm yourself and others.
