When is it permissible to exceed the limit to pass a slower moving vehicle?

Most states require slower moving traffic to move over and let faster vehicles by on multi lane highways. Even if a slower vehicle is driving the posted limits it must move over unless passing. Not only the law but is safer for all if slower moving traffic does not impede others. Even if not the law it is just the courteous and responsible thing to do. On a two lane road I will move over to allow a faster car to come by me if it can be done safely. I will also ease up on my speed a bit to assist an overtaking driver coming by me in a passing zone so he or she can come by safely.

Is it ever legal to exceed the speed limit?
In general the answer is, technically, no, you may not. However if you are passing a slower moving vehicle it would be considered 'lawful' to exceed the limit to pass the slower moving vehicle and then immediately return to the posted limit once it was passed.

Is there a maximum speed allowed when passing a vehicle on Texas highways?
TECHNICALLY, you may never exceed the speed limit. However - in real life - you will be allowed a certain leeway in order to pass a slower moving vehicle. You may not blow past them at 90 mph but any 'reasonable and prudent' speed increase to get around them will be tolerated - so long as you return to the speed limit after completing the pass.

When faster moving and slower moving particles collide which particles gain energy?
It depends upon the mass of the particles also. Assuming equal mass, then the slower moving particle gains some energy, and the faster moving particle loses energy. However, if the slower moving particle had greater mass, it could transfer energy to the faster moving particle.

What are the purposes of car brakes?
