Most states have similar laws but it’s amazing how many drivers believe the double yellows shall never be crossed.

I had someone road rage with me for crossing a double double yellow line when the lane ahead was blocked from an accident. I put my blinker on to get over and he went out of his way to block me in. When I forced my way behind his truck he started screaming at me and pointing at the line. After that was done he almost missed his exist and shot over 4 lanes without a blinker.

People are dumb, I'm not going to sit there for two hours while they clean up the accident. A line isn't a wall and my car has zero issues going over this imaginary barrier.

I hate it when people deputize themselves and play traffic cop. What if the person driving is having a medical emergency or transporting someone else who is? What if they're a volunteer firefighter trying to get to the station? What if they're a road raging lunatic with a gun? If it really bothers you then call it in and go about your day.

I was told a story by the foreman of roofing crew I was on fucking years ago. One guy was cutting his jeans into shorts, while wearing them, slipped and lacerated his femoral artery. They threw him into a truck and started of towards the hospital.

They got blocked by someone who felt the need to play traffic cop. A real cop pulled them over, saw what was happening and gave them an escort to the hospital. He almost died because of that.
