Double Yellow

[minutiesabotage]

Situation: You're on your bike stuck behind a slow moving truck/car, you get to a passing zone but there's oncoming traffic. You come to a wide open stretch that's a double yellow, and there is no traffic in the other lane.

To pass or not to pass, that is the question.

[Pittenger5]

Only if you can safely moon them on the way by

[KillBill]

I would not pass. Unless I know the roads VERY well.

[minutiesabotage]

Well I think that would go under the safe part, but I guess that's subjective.

[Pittenger5]

Also depends on what Im doing. If Im out for a spirited ride and they're crawling I probably will, if Im commuting or just heading someone Id probably just deal with them.

[ChrisNoF4i]

If you have to ask, then just sit back there and choke on those fumes, pudding head.

[SSearchVT]

It's legal up here...

[tsanterre]

In VT the double-yellow lines are "advisory" or a suggestion only...

So...yes I'd pass if it were safe...but the law has nothing to do with it!

[Tricky Mike]

if Im commuting or just heading someone

That why they call you Dollar Bill?

[MissTwisties]

Gee, I was passing doubles yesterday. I do it, if I feel safe doing so. If there is *any* doubt in my mind that I might not make it, I won't. If I'm riding with some buddies and they all pass doubles, but when come my turn I don't feel safe doing so, I won't...I'll just catch up with them when I get the chance.

[Pittenger5]

That why they call you Dollar Bill?

No, thats why they call me "special" haha

[KillBill]

PAss, pass and pass again. Always as safe as possible but I'd always rather have a car behind me than in front of me

Unless they add DON'T HIT YOUR BRAKES MID CORNER to drivers educatiion

[union]

Only when Im following MSF instructors

Pudding? I love pudding.

[KillBill]

Pudding? I love pudding.

You only love pudding b/c that's all your old mini-fridge could hold

LOL I have no fridge at the moment, mini or otherwise

[minutiesabotage]

I keep my mini fridge stocked with pudding at all times.

WHERE IS THE FRIGGIN BEMUSED OPTION!!??

Haven't we gone over this?

[Crash Dummy Denno]

i pass wherever/ whenever i see fit. no car should hold me up

[MissTwisties]

There can be no Bemused option here, it doesn't apply. You either do it, or you don't.

[minutiesabotage]

Also I think I remember reading something about people not actually knowing what bemused meant in regards to NESR. Didn't want to be a dumb newb and get it wrong.

[The Snowman]

I bemuse from this vote. (as opposed to abstaining from it)

Therefore, I vote bemused.

[Evil_Weasel]

if a car is holding me up on a particularly twisty or senic road than yes, i'll pass as soon as i safely can. double yellow or not. part of the reson i ride is because i can do things like that whenever i see fit.
