Driving at 105 km/h in a 70 km/h speed limit zone will result in 12 penalty points. The penalty and point deduction standards for speeding are as follows: 1. No fine or points will be issued for speeding within 10% of the limit, but a warning from traffic police may be given. 2. Speeding between 10% and 20% over the limit will result in a fine of 200 and 3 penalty points. 3. Speeding between 20% and 50% over the limit will result in a fine of 300 and 6 penalty points. 4. Speeding over 50% of the limit will result in a fine of 1000 and 12 penalty points. The dangers of speeding include: 1. Inability to perceive changes: Driving too fast makes it difficult to obtain sufficient road information, increasing the risk of traffic accidents. 2. Reduced spatial awareness: As the gaze moves forward, the field of vision narrows, reducing clarity and making it difficult to recognize small or slowly changing objects, often leading to delayed reactions. 3. Impaired judgment: When driving at high speeds, drivers not only misjudge their own vehicle's speed but also underestimate the speed of pedestrians, non-motorized vehicles, and other motor vehicles. This can lead to misjudging the speed and distance of oncoming vehicles when overtaking, as well as underestimating the required distance to overtake safely, often resulting in delayed reactions and collisions or scrapes. 4. Decreased reaction ability: Speeding increases the frequency of overtaking and meeting other vehicles, reducing the distance between vehicles and overwhelming the driver with external stimuli. This consumes significant mental and physical energy, frequently shifting attention and leading to fatigue, and over time, drowsiness, greatly increasing the risk of accidents.
