who drive faster than the speed limit.

Answers with Explanation:

Question # 1: Type of Law.

As the man goes above the described speed limit, he broke the law and committed a crime. Therefore, this is a criminal law. The punishment for speeding increases the faster the person is driving above the speed limit.

Question # 1: Source of the Law.

The law is in a written form, describing to public what is allowed and what action is prohibited. Hence, the source is statute.

Question # 3: Purpose of the law.

The action of speeding means you are going faster than the recommended speed for that road. This means that you can injure yourself as well as others in an accident. Thus this law is intended as measure to ensure public safety. For example, the man was going at 67 miles per hour, that is more than 20 miles above the speed limit. At this speed reaction time is very small and even a minor mistake can turn into a deadly accident.

This is a matter of Criminal Law.When you break a law, you are committing a crime. When you break a law, you have a legal punishment. The penalty increases the faster the person travels above the speed limit. The most severe punishments are for those who travel faster than 20 miles per hour above the speed limit.

The law is intended to protect people's safety.The source of the law is a statute – a written law that tells us what to do and what not to do. Since it is a local law that “outlines punishments,” it is also a municipal law.

Many people will be killed on the road if speed limit is not followed.he purpose of the law is to stop people from speeding. Speeding can cause accidents that hurt the driver or other people. The faster you go increases the risk of an accident. The law is intended to protect people’s safety. If it did not exist, people could drive whatever speed they wanted. They could drive 100 mph in a school zone. In the scenario, he was driving 22 mph over the speed limit and his wife and unborn child were in the car. He could have had an accident and killed all of them.
