I doubt im the only one who passes people on double yellows. I don't do it all the time but if i want to get by someone and its clear ahead I go for it...a few times when it wasn't clear but I set up the overtaking well so no worries. Surprises the hell out of people though! I wana hear some driving stories and habits, tendencies etc... I guess my problem is i cut corners alot and take apexes like its a one lane road...wups

I have done this exactly one time. It was to prove a point and I only did it because the guy upset the hell out of me. 45mph 2 lane road, he cuts almost right in front of me from a stop sign and as he sees me go to pass him, he decides to try and beat me. He was driving an early 90's Escort, and I had my Celica(had it about 6 months at the time). I dropped gears again, and left him standing there.
One thing you have right though, is how much it surprises people when you pass them. I pass on dotted yellow practically daily. 90% of the time, the driver getting passed has a 'wtf is he doing, he's gonna kill us both' look on their face. Around here it's pretty much suicide to cut corners on the roads that it would be fun on. Almost every sharp turn is completely blind, and on roads where traffic is just common enough to keep you from doing it. |
