only when I'm on my bike, wont pass on yellow in the car.
Of course, they only there to make the road look pretty
Only if I think its safe (and no cops are watching)
Never (it would tarnish my halo)

If you painted yellow lines at all locations where it would be dangerous for Mr Caravan Tugger, or Ms Daisy-Wannabe to overtake then there would not be one km of white line left in the country.
If I'm close to a blind corner, I know it's not safe to overtake, unless it's a tractor travelling at 10kph. Putting a yellow line there means i cannot do the latter.
Yellow lines should only be used in the situation where the road is deceptive, where it might look ok but there is a dip in the road for instance. Putting them anywhere else is admitting that the system allows people to drive on our road who are not competent to judge speed and distance safely.
Yellow lines today do not mean danger. So I ignore them when I know I will get away with it. Hopefully I don't ignore one of the few that actually do mean danger.......

Sometimes you can. Sort of like stopping for a red light at 3am with no traffic at all on the road waiting for the lights to cycle through. Happens in Papakura regularly for me. Some of the no passing lines I'm sure haven't been looked at from a riders perspective, but easier I guess 1 rule for all too complicated to do anything about it.
Immature and proud of it.
Yellow lines are being used as a traffic control measure. Not, as originally intended, as a road safety warning.
So, who obeys traffic control measures?
Especially when a bike can overtake so much faster than the 1948 Morris 10 that Transit use as an acceleration model.
Speed doesn't kill people.
Stupidity kills people.

I got past on the yellow lines out at Riverhead on sunday in my cage by a cock knocker in a white WRX he almost took out a guy on a Bronze SV coming the other way who gave him the appropriate symbol of his gratitude.
I pass only if its safe and you can see plenty of road in front of you

As always - if it is not safe to pass within the visible distance ahead - I don't pass, yellow or not. If the way is clear and it is safe to pass, I will - yellows or not!

When I got my license, the bit down the bottom of the form that I was supposed to hand back to the teller said "tear along the dotted line", so that's what I do.

It's not so much the yellow lines, it's those three rows of cats eyes!
Ever tried lane splitting on them in the wet?
I haven't but can imagine.....

very good you have made my day (and god knows it needs something)
I'm one of the worlds best riders. I can wheelie, I can stoppie, I can stunt, hell I can get my shoulder down. I could keep up with Rossie if I wanted to race.
Then I go from bed to bike and somehow it all turns to crap.
