Driving faster than the posted speed limit is considered:

  1. Legal

  2. Illegal

  3. Unsafe but permitted

  4. Discouraged

The correct answer is: Illegal

Driving faster than the posted speed limit is considered illegal. Speed limits are established by traffic regulations to ensure safety on the roads, and exceeding these limits violates these legal standards. Laws are in place to promote orderly traffic flow and minimize accidents, so when a driver chooses to go above the posted limit, they are not only disregarding the law but also potentially endangering themselves and others. The other options imply varying degrees of legality or acceptability; however, none accurately reflect the legal consequences of speeding. Legal suggests that it is permissible, while unsafe but permitted and discouraged imply a level of acceptance that simply doesn't align with traffic laws. Thus, it is crucial for drivers to adhere to posted speed limits to comply with the law and contribute to road safety.
