What is the maximum speed in gear 1?

What happens if you go too fast in gear 1?
Nothing other than lots of noise, not very smooth ride and wasted fuel. If you're in first gear and just keep going faster and faster, the engine will stop itself from being destroyed by cutting fuel and/or ignition, so it won't go past the “rev limit” (usually a bit past the red zone on the rev-counter).
Is it OK to drive in first gear?
When you drive in first gear at a high rate of speed, you are essentially over-revving the engine and risk damage to your car's clutch, pistons or transmission gear. Pay attention to your tachometer or indicator light that tells you when to shift gears to prevent a catastrophic engine failure.
