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.
There is no one vehicle that weighs 40 tons. The maximum allowed weight for large 18 wheel hauling trucks on highways in the United States is 40 tons or 80,000 lbs.

The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of a vehicle/trailer is the total weight of a fully loaded vehicle/trailer with maximum number of passengers allowed, maximum number of cargo allowed, full tank of gas, etc that the vehicle should weigh at maximum.
California Vehicle Code 22349 defines the maximum speed permissible on public highways.

The maximum vehicle transport height on U.S. highways is generally 13 feet 6 inches (4.1 meters). However, this can vary by state and specific routes, as some areas may have lower height restrictions due to overpasses or other infrastructure. It's essential for drivers to check local regulations and road signage to ensure compliance.
When another vehicle is passing you, safe practicesuggests that you: * Back off on your accelerator so as to slightly slow down allowing the passing vehicle to complete the pass as easily, quickly, and therefore safely, as possible. * Concentrate on keeping your vehicle steadily within in your lane of travel, without any weaving, which could panic the passing driver. possibly resulting in a collision. * For maximum safety for you, the passing vehicle, and others, you should do everything to make the pass as easy as possible.

No. This is a passing lane only.It's nickname is "The suicide lane".
Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) is the actual weight of a vehicle when it is fully loaded with passengers and cargo. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is the maximum weight that a vehicle is designed to carry, including passengers and cargo. The key difference is that GVW is the actual weight, while GVWR is the maximum allowed weight.
It sort of depends. Mainly, if it's a 50cc engine, the answer is no, because they are unable to go fast enough to be safe in highway traffic. Also, since 50cc scooter (and mopeds) are typically limited by law to a maximum of 30mph (but can usually go somewhat faster), they are not allowed on anything but secondary streets.Most states require any vehicle to be able to go whatever the posted speed limit is. If the speed limit is faster than 35MPH (the maximum speed for most 50cc scooters), they are illegal on the highway.Some states are more specific: at the entrances to Interstates (and some other highways), there are signs at on-ramps to the highways listing a number of things not permitted on the highway, one of which is "Scooters less then 10hp".Scooters with engine sizes of 150cc or greater, of course, typically have cruising speeds of 50mph or greater, and therefore would be allowed on highways.Read more: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Are motor scooters allowed on highways#ixzz2T883LwnA
When passing another vehicle, it is prohibited by law to do so in areas where there are solid lines marking the road, such as no-passing zones. Additionally, passing is not allowed when approaching intersections, railroad crossings, or when visibility is limited due to curves, hills, or inclement weather. Drivers must also ensure they have sufficient space to complete the maneuver safely without endangering other road users.
