I wonder if the FAST program applies to motos too if you happen to get pulled on the PCH 1??

How California's New 100 MPH License Rule Changes Monterey Car Week for Drivers​

California's FAST program changes Monterey Car Week by allowing the Department of Motor Vehicles to instantly suspend licenses for speeds over 100 mph without waiting for a court conviction. State data shows over 94% of these administrative suspension and re-examination actions are upheld upon review.

The old mental model went like this: get clocked, take the citation, hire a lawyer, show up in court, maybe get it knocked to a non-point violation, pay the fine, go home. Annoying, expensive, survivable. That model is obsolete for one specific number.

In December 2025, the California DMV and CHP launched a joint pilot called Forwarded Actions for Speeding Tickets, or FAST. Every citation written for driving more than 100 mph automatically kicks a referral to the DMV's Driver Safety Branch. Driver Safety then reviews the incident and your record to decide whether to suspend or revoke your license.

My nephew has a Ferrari and he attends Monterey Car Week annually so he was talking about this the other day. I'm just curious if DMV is just targeting exotic cars or all vehicles but the article did point out "every citation written for driving more than 100 mph...." so I'm sure it applies to all.
 
If I were EVER to go above 100mph (Honest officer, I've never done this before, I swear!) I just assume I might lose my license...

I assume that we can't take any hope from the fact the press release repeatedly refers to "drivers"...?
 
i would never ride 100mph on the street. now with this new law, i will never ever ride 100mph on the street!
 
Judging by the images the CHP posts on their regional FB pages, they are not targeting any specific type of vehicle. There are pics of everything; sportscars, sedans, trucks, motorcycles.
 
Back when I lived in California, I made it a point to never exceed 99 mph because going faster and getting caught was two points on the license instead of one. Apparently they needed a bigger penalty than that, and now you have this new law.

I think I only ever went significantly faster on a motorcycle one time and that was on Christmas Day on my Ducati Superbike where I saw 145 indicated, which was likely "way slower" like 125 or something. It was out by Tracy on that section of 5 (or 580) after coming out of Corral Hollow. That section is a straight road where you can see for miles and nobody was likely to be running radar that day.

Back when I had the Honda S2000 I only ever exceeded 99 one time as well, but out in Nevada. There is a straight section of road on Highway 160 between Las Vegas and Pahrump where you have ten miles of dead straight road and it's obvious if any cars are on or near the road. I saw an indicated 150 that time - with the top down. I really wanted to take a photo of the speedometer number, but couldn't figure out how to safely do that. :laughing

I'm never tempted to get anywhere close to triple digit speeds with anything that I currently own. :gsxrgrl
 
135 has been my short burst California maximum when I was younger.

Don't have that urge on a moto any longer and my car couldn't attain that driven off a cliff.

Hitting that speed and holding that speed are two separate conversations.
I may be prone to one of those, but never both.
(responding for a friend....)
 
Now that I am retired….. I got stories. :laughing
 

Busted for going a buck thirty.

is that in kph/hr? kind of blurry but that looks like a K. still impressive though. And he still wasn't redlining.
