The Double Yellow line: Do you or not? - Page 2

I treat the yellow lines as I do the advisory speed limits posted for corners. These are suggestions for automobiles. I calculate based on my experience the ability to make a safe pass and go for it. When in doubt, any at all, I wait for a better certain opportunity.

That's cheating.

But I like it.

That's when they target-fixate on you and steer right into you, lol

Never unless they are endangering me...I hate passing anyway so if I can do it when its legal, thats my preference.

Yeah, what she said.
On most of our good roads, it seems inevitable that you get stacked up behind slow-ass drivers.

Only when I have a good line of sight and I'm sure I can get by without startling the driver of the car I'm passing or a driver/rider that may suddenly appear coming the other direction.

I pass when I can, most times when legal but sometimes when it isn't. Most recently hubby passed someone on a curve and I about shit my pants watching him do it. I never expected that one from him, but hey whatever!

I go whenever I see a chance.

i'll wait for the broken lines. But as soon as its clear im dumping two and passing hard.
