I was in fact on a two-lane blacktop this afternoon. Going 20-25mph in a 20-30mph zone. When some jerk thought about crossing the double-yellow line while approaching a small curve with a blind hill. I immediately went out to the double-yellow line. Because I wasn't going to allow myself to become collateral damage for their stupidity. When they would have tried to avoid the on-coming traffic.
What gives them license to be stupid because they don't want to be behind a cyclist going the speed limit. But, Despite being annoyed, at a slow motorist. They would have no problem waiting and/or, passing safely.
Probably the same authority that gives cyclists license to play traffic control.
