That's funny, I never expect to get passed on a double yellow, you know 'cause a double yellow explicitly means "no passing".

Just like I don't expect people to blow stop signs and red lights, 'cause they explicitly mean "stop"... and a million other rules of the road. Anytime I see someone directly violate a traffic law, it raises the "WTF is that idiot doing" flag... i.e. passing over a double yellow (especially passing a truck!?) is an idiot move.

What are you in such a hurry for anyway?
