Passing on double yellow

[lawang600rr]

This is embarassing, I was on hwy 35 passed 84 junction, following 2 cars. The whole time there I was doing about 50 mph, yeah nice easy ride. Passed the junction I decided to pass them while hunking my horn. I made the pass on a straight-a-way, where I can see no traffic in the opposite direction. What do you know, Sheriff Woody was on my tail. Good thing, I was not speedinng. Do I have a case here? Is my case dismissible?

nope, pay it and go to trafic school, that's their 2nd favorite ticket (guess what the 1st one is)

good thing he didn't get you for hunking :twofinger

(I think mine cost me $2-fiddy or so)

Double yellow is exactly as it is. Double. NO PASSING.

You have a cop behind you and you don't know it? Dude, you need to pay more attention to your rear views. Don't you check them before passing? What if somebody else was already passing you and you cut in front of them?

Anyway, you will not win this one. You cannot argue that it was safe, therefore ok for you to break the law. Go to traffic school and pay the fine.

yeah, good thing he didn't snag you for hunking...

I always say it's the inattentive driver who gets the ticket. How easy was this to avoid? Double whammy on you for not checking before pulling out to pass!

and you failed to check six before 'doing it'.
