BUT...should something go whacky with this one and you find yourself in court, tell the prosecutor that you want to file on the driver in front of you for "impeding traffic" which caused you to pass over the double yellow.
Cops are actually here to help!

who knew...

Several years back... drivin the 02 Z/28 on a curvy little road along the edge of Lake Worth (Fort Worth) I came up behind someone in a tiny little pickup, driving about 20 in what I think WAS a 35... I started to pass (no lines) she sped up... tried to keep me from passing I just slightly pressed on the gas, thought she would let it go before the next sharp curve... I guess she had the toy wound up cause I actually had to downshift to get by... we get to the stop sign she pulls up beside me yelling about how I was endangering the life of her child.... I said.. I was just calmly going around a slow poke... YOU are the one trying to turn it into an event!
AND YOU are the one endangering your child, if you were really worried about the child... you would not have sped up. her face got more red, her voice got more loud, I just gave her a demonstration of how quickly a Z could remove me from her location...

I had a similar event way back in '99. I was on a 2 lane on my way home behind a Dualie and a Civic. I was in a passing zone and the Dualie decided they were going to turn off the road. I put my blinker on to pass the Civic AND the turning dualie. The person in the Civic wasn't paying attention, I guess and started to cross the line as I was beside her. I was in my Z28 so I just gunned it, pushed a littler further over to the opposite side of the road and finished passing. I continued on my merry way, but noticed that the lady in the civic was riding my ass. I sped up. She sped up. I sped up some more. She sped up some more. Finally, I got annoyed and left her sitting.

I got home and about 30 minutes later got a phone call from a state trooper saying that I would show up to a local spot and respond to charges of wreckless driving or he would come arrest me. It turns out she was a dispatcher for the local sherriff's office and claimed that I nearly ran her off the road. I told the State Trooper the truth and told her that if she had payed attention, she would have seen my blinker. Additionally, if she was so concerned about safety, she wouldn't have been riding my ass for 10 miles. I asked the trooper if legally he could do anything to me since he didn't witness it and he told me no. I told him thanks and got out of his car and left the scene.

I somehow had local Sherrifs along my whole route of travel home from work after that for about a month. One day I pulled over on a Sherriff who was following me. He got out when I got out of the car. I walked up to his car and asked him why he was following me and had been for over a week. He said that he hadn't been and then I walked him to my car and showed him my video camera that was recording out the back hatch. I told him I had video of his car following me every single day for over a week and that that constituted harrassment.

I didn't get followed after that.

I guess lot of people think.... it is only wrong when someone ELSE does it.
