is it ok to shift into 2nd gear while going 60+mph?

just curious as to what gear would be optimal..... for instance, if someone pulls next to you, do you down shift to second or third while going 60+ mph, or even when you need to accelerate FASTER while going 60mph to avoid impending harm........

anyone with particular experience?

ALSO, I AM NOT CONDONING any street race..........it is just of curiosity......
