I was on my way to work, tooling along at 75 on a 60 mph speed limit road, when all of a sudden a silver Buick passes me on the left over the double yellow.

It didn't surprise IN THE LEAST that it was the biggest asshole I've ever met. We were going to the same place so I followed him all the way into the parking lot and gave him a dirty look. I told his passenger that the driver is gonna get him killed. His passenger agreed and informed me that he'll be driving his own car tomorrow.

Where I live they often have yellow lines for extended distances. If I can see far enough ahead and know I can make it in the distance/time available, I do it.

Were you driving in the left lane?

Meh. I pass people on double yellows all the time. Although usually they are going well below the speed limit, and I wait at least 5 minutes and flick my brights to try and get them to pull over.

But seriously, if you get passed by a guy with 55 horsepower and a slipping clutch, you are probably a shit driver.

it was a 2 lane road, one lane each direction. Traffic was moving about 75 mph, this guy just thought that the opposite direction lane was there for him to use to pass everyone.

Ouch. Passed by a Buick. That's almost as embarrassing as being overtaken by a minivan.

At least I was driving the Hyundai and not the Shoe.
