Double White Lines

Okay, in short if you get caught overtaking on solid's you'll be done by the fuzz! Simple really. You're choice. Personally, I can usually wait or squeeze through not crossing the line.

muffles is spot on, the "under 10mph" doesn't apply to cars.

HooliganDan, personally I reckon it's often safer just to cross the line and make the space than it is to squeeze past in one lane... I see something similiar most days with bus lanes, people ride along the solid white line or inside the main lane when filtering, it might be legal (or less illegal) but it's far elss safe than just using the bus lane.

Of course, the rsponse to that is "Then don't do either"

Never, the closer and faster the better!

Yes, I'm just being flippant now.
