Will driving at 105 mph in a 70 mph speed limit zone result in a 12-point deduction?

Driving at 105 mph in a 70 mph speed limit zone exceeds the speed limit by 50%, which will result in a 12-point deduction. The vehicle's speedometer may have some errors, and it usually shows a slightly higher speed than the actual speed. If the speedometer shows 105 mph, the actual speed is usually less than 100 mph. Currently, it should be penalized as speeding over 20% but less than 50%. However, if the electronic speed detection shows 105 mph, it will be penalized as speeding over 50%. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 20% but less than 50% will result in a fine and a 6-point deduction. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 50% but less than 70% will result in a one-time 12-point deduction.
Last time I was driving on the highway, I accidentally sped up to 105 mph in a 70 mph zone and got caught red-handed. The traffic officer came over and said I was speeding over 50%, which definitely meant 12 points deducted. I was fined 2000 yuan, my driver's license was reset to zero, and I had to retake the test, which took a lot of time. At the time, I thought driving a bit faster was no big deal, but looking back now, it was totally not worth it—not only did it cost me a lot of money, but it also posed a huge risk to others on the road. Everyone should really keep an eye on the dashboard while driving and not get distracted like I did. Staying within the speed limit is the safest. If you find yourself speeding, slow down in time to avoid bigger trouble. Remember, speeding isn’t just about fines and points—it can also lead to accidents.
