The people who think it's wrong to pass double yellow lines in that situation probably live in the city, because it's different for us town folk.

And I've seen a cop pass a tractor over the double yellow lines before, he must be a moron too

Around here if you pass on the right-hand side when someone's making a left turn, even when there's enough shoulder, you'll get a ticket.

Say whatever you want, passing on a double-yellow or on the shoulder will fail you on a driving test and get you tickets. It's not safe or legal no matter how clear it is, but I've done both. I never do it now that I'm 33 versus when I was 21. I'd do it again if I were bleeding or had a better reason. When you're tired, you tend to have bad judgment behind the wheel.

Not parallel parking in 3 moves also can get you to fail the test... whats your point?

I've done it many times. There's plenty of roads around here that are so 'out there' that if you get behind someone going slow. Anyone around here will pass em. Double lines, passing lines, or even on roads that don't have any lines.

I believe there are situations where it's not black and white.

20 in a 55 is definitely grounds for a passing. No problem.

Uh :uh: obey the rules of the road?

Making 5 moves to parallel park won't get you a ticket, and is far less likely to get you killed. Passing on a double yellow on the other hand...

Passing on a dotted lines requires just as much judgement as passing on a double yellow line. Unless you're trying to pass on a curve or something.
