glad to hear it. with a bit of luck you should live forever
i may be wildly inaccurate, but i thought that double whites mean "don't cross us" - ie: no mention of overtaking. surely then, given that if something isn't forbidden, then it is permissible, so if there is enough space to overtake without crossing the lines, then all other things being equal (other traffic/speed limits/visibility etc) it's ok to overtake.
anyway dad, i'm suitably admonished. i promise i'll be good in future.
