How many mph should you increase to pass another vehicle traveling in the same direction?

According to the law, you're still bound by the speed limit posted on that roadway, even when passing. If you exceed this speed limit and are observed by a police officer doing so, it'll be entirely up to their discretion whether or not they pull you over and cite you. Typically, five miles per hour over or so will usually be let go (but this is in no way guaranteed), but if you're doing something like 20 over, you'll definitely be cited.

How is it possible to be accelerating while traveling at a constant speed?
If you turn your vehicle in another direction, even at a constant speed, you will experience acceleration (sideways) because the vector direction has changed through the application of force.
It is acceptable to increase the speed of your vehicle to pass or overtake another vehicle on the road?
So long as you are not speeding as you are passing yes. However if the vehicle you are passing is traveling at the speed limit the cop that books you will contend that you had no reason for passing.
What speed should you pass another vehicle traveling in the same direction?
one billion miles per hour in a car made of cheese if not 1 millimeter per year hope this heps
Does Crash severity increases with the speed of the vehicle at impact?
Yes, all things being equal, crash severity does increase proportional to the speed of each vehicle at impact, and is a vector sum. So, there is a big difference between crash severity at impact from being "rear-ended" (when one vehicle is traveling the same direction as another, and impacts the front of their vehicle with the rear of another) and a "head-on" impact (two cars traveling into one another, impacting both front bumpers). In the rear-end impact, you take the momentum (mass times velocity) of the rear, impacting vehicle "A" and subtract the momentum of the front-most impacted vehicle "B", and that gives you the resultant impact force (the difference in momentum being transferred). weak impact scenario example: vehicle A is traveling 60 mph, and vehicle B is the same mass and is traveling 50 mph. The difference in momentum would be the mass times 10 mph...not much. severe impact scenario: vehicle A is traveling 70 mph, and vehicle B is at rest (0 mph)...large impact. In the head-on impact, you have the most severe crash scenario. In this case, you ADD the momentum of vehicle A with the momentum of vehicle B, and you get the resultant force of impact. Even if both vehicles are traveling 30 mph, with the same mass, and have a heaad-on collision, the is close to the same as one vehicle traveling 10 mph and hitting the other vehicle going 70 mph...severe impact.

If you are traveling on a one lane mountain road and encounter another vehicle and neither of you has room to pass who should yield and back up?
whichever vehicle was the one traveling uphill
When passing another vehicle the driver must be traveling at what speed?
the safe and legal passing of another vehicle requires that drive
With how many feet of an oncoming vehicle must you dim your bright headlights?
It perfectly depends on where you live or drive. You should dim your headlights right when you see another vehicle in front of you or right when you see the lights of another vehicle. It doesn't matter if you are seeing the tail lamp (both of you are traveling in the same direction), you should dim the lights or else it is going to make difficulties for the driver in front.
Who is at fault I was making a left turn and I was struck in the passenger rear panel of my vehicle?
I don't know the details but most likely the vehicle that struck you is at fault if he/she was traveling in the same direction and lane behind you.
You must yield the right of way to a publicly owned transit vehicle that is traveling in the same direction and is re-entering the highway from a designated pullout bay?
yes, you must yield to the right of way to any publicly owned transit with a designated oull out bay that is traveling the same direction.
What is the violation code if a motorist drives over the double yellow line to pass a stopped vehicle traveling the same direction?
It dependa on the traffic on the other side of the road.
What does a solid yellow line mean in Texas?
A solid yellow line means two things. The colour indicates that traffic on the other side of the line travels in the opposite direction as you're traveling. The solid line indicated that you may not cross into that lane to overtake another vehicle.
