It happens all the time. Let's say I'm overtaking a car and it's not happening fast enough. I might change to a lower gear (usually 3 if it's on the highway) to get extra acceleration for a few seconds.

 

Just press the acceleration more?

I don't drive stick, it's too annoying, though I have tried it.

Automatic is fine so long as you're not a street racer.  Or have a lead foot.

To overtake, just merge, and press the pedal down and it'll kick the acceleration up.  The cars are pretty smart.
