    generally acceptable to, or by, whom?

    To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead.

    The only thing that's irrelevant here is your opinion. This discussion is for those who ride motorcycles. So fuck off.

    They were placed in an area for good reasons. As Roogazza says (which I was going to say myself until he eloquently stated the simple fact) there has been an outbreak of the "Yellow Line Monster" who has painted so many lines in utter bollocks places, that they need to be now treated like Hi-Viz vests (every cunt has one) so the danger blends into the background.
    Yellow lines are there for tin-top wheel-turners, however the fuckers like to get their panties twisted when a two-wheeled velocopede passes them effortlessly*.

    I have been known to cross yellow lines, passing those who crawl through the bendy bits and the gas it on the straights, or where they've been put on slightly curvy roads where you can see for the next 2km. Not a regular thing, but when required just treat like any other passing manouvre and apply suitable quantities of judgement

    Seems acceptable and intelligent enough. The last sentence especially shows a mature mind that understands the original question.

    Exactly, "acceptable" to whom? The driver in front won't like it, as well as anyone coming the other way. As for the POPO, ticket and demerits achievement unlocked.

    I think it's worth noting that more car drivers are getting dash cams and if they feel you passed dangerously or they have a chip on their shoulder, they may *555 and report you.

    If I'm group riding with a few mates, we'd all need to agree on how aggressively we'd be riding - checking with others if they are comfortable passing on yellow wouldn't be a bad idea. If you're riding in a larger group with various experience levels, I wouldn't advise it because some riders may make a bad judgement call and over take into on coming traffic.

    If you're riding solo, it's your risk, if it's acceptable to you then do it (not an endorsement).

    This isn't acceptable:

    Hey Azkill. Bad news. You're right.
