I read your response and was ready to call BS on it until I searched and found out that you are 100% correct ... Sounds rather stupid to me!

Are you saying that the laws pertaining to the road surface markings vary in the Canadian provinces and territories?

In the US the laws pertaining to the road surface markings are federal and are standardized across all 50 states. It is the same for traffic signals and traffic signs... they are the same in all 50 states.

I certaily agree with your latter sentence, though.

If I am stuck behind a slow poke and I have the double solid yellow line to my left, I pass on the right

Gambling is fun until the house wins. If the house wins in this example, I get to pronounce your time of death and cover what's left of you with a sheet.
