I've got several rules I apply to life and work. One of the one's when it comes to bikes is....."you ride yours and I'll ride mine". What anyone else does don't matter to me and what I do shouldn't matter to anyone else.

 

The lines mean nothing when the situations calls for a pass and it's safe to do it. Been riding like this for over 50 yrs.

 

I wouldn't pass them, just follow to the nearest saloon and knock down a few shots and beers. That should give them enough time to be far ahead of me to ride as fast as I want. If I catch up to them I repeat the routine. Makes for a lovely days ride..............

 

Only time i pass in a no-passing zone is to get around farm equipment and i have lots of room. Even then i do it cautiously, since i dont know if that tractor is about to turn left, into a field, or pull to the left in order to get around a mail box, or someone might be pulling out in front of the tractor. To many unknowns to be in a hurry.

 

everybody dies when they die: can't live life fearing it, no one gets out alive.....

 

Yep, all Provinces have their own autonomous MTO and regulate all things related to road use / vehicle inspections etc. It can be a PITA for example the tinting of windows here in Ontario is legal if you stay within a certain % of light, but in Alberta any aftermarket film laminated to any windows on your car is illegal regardless of light %. Another is on snow plow equipment in Ontario, it must have a blue revolving light, but in New Brunswick the blue lights are illegal and they must be amber.

I get to pronounce to WESCOM when the head is separated from the body....... ever been thrown into the doghouse on a bus on a call from the bench seat taking vitals????

Same thing happens all the time to me.. I am riding along and cars pass me on the yellow lines..
