When I was in driver's ed in CT, just over half my life ago, I believe they told us getting caught speeding at 95mph or above was a felony that would result in an automatic revocation of your license, and/or an arrest, and a mandatory court appearance. At that time, though, I was a bit more focused on the hot fudge sundae I had gotten during the break or that cute girl sitting in front of me, so the memory could be inaccurate.
If 109 in California would just get you a ticket, then it must be different from state to state.
