"...Oh, no you DID-unt!" This is a no-no. If you cross the double yellow, you will eventually collect a sportbike mirror--or worse. On this trip, I encountered a pickup truck towing a two-wheeled trailer that was 2 feet into my lane. He barely got it back in his lane as I passed. On another pass, I had to come to a complete stop when it looked like a 20-foot straight truck was not going to get it back into his lane in time. And of course we all know about the semi trucks (or should). When you see trouble ahead in the oncoming lane, stop before the corner. But get going again. A sportbiker told me that a couple in a car ahead of him, "leafing," stopped dead, in a corner, to take pictures. |
