Rockergirl: It’s not illegal to turn left over an ordinary double yellow line in the city (or in the state, so far as I’m aware), provided you don’t block traffic by doing so. What you cannot do is cross a double yellow line in order to pass a vehicle on the left.
CJ: I don’t think kgdlg was asking for an exception to the rule. There’s no unfair advantage in expecting that the law will be applied as written. More importantly, we’re talking about a traffic infraction, not a moral issue or, given kgdlg’s account of the event, a safety issue. That’s my view of it, anyway.
