The interesting thing about this picture from this week's Highlights on Killboy.com is not that it's of a tourist, doing what I would expect a small number of tourist squids to do, but Killboy's own comment (in response to others) in the thread the picture inevitably generated:
"Yeah luckily she saw it coming and pulled over as far as she could, practically stopping in the road and they still nearly clipped her front end. Selfish morons... tourists aren't the only ones unfortunately... we're having the same issue with a handful of regulars who can't seem to grasp why crapping in your own playground is a bad idea." (The "she" he refers to is a Dragon Regular, and she was shaken-up enough by the close call to be really p****d.)
What surprised me is that there are a "handful of regulars" who abuse the double-yellow. Anyone who has made a couple of passes knows that you do not cross the double-yellow unless you're sure you have a sight-line way past the apex of the turn you're entering. Of which there are very few. The better rule is never. It astounds me that a Regular would push this envelope.
Caveat Auriga (charioteer beware).
