In CA the closest concept is blocking traffic.... i.e. accumulating a line of cars behind you... and even that is only ticketable if you were doing it when you didn't have to (e.g. truck going slow up a steep hill is OK, M3 doing the same thing be breakin the law.)

Please make sure that you let someone know when you plan to do this so that they may tell us (the forum) that you've gone ker-splat into the front of a big ol eighteen-wheeler.
it's not an 18 wheeler... i've never seen an 18 wheeler at the canyons around here. although i've seen a vid of an 18 wheeler on deals gap.

i will again someday when i get better at passing during corners.
This is a joke, right? You can't possibly be dumb enough to pass vehicles around double-yellow corners.
What are you trying to prove? What's wrong with you?

When I get back home (in VA visiting my dad for my birthday) I'm going to go and take a picture of a speed limit sign with the min/max limits on it.
There's no such place as California! I've never seen it or been there, so it must not exist!

like i said... i only do it on clear straights nowadays.
and im not trying to prove anything. im just saying im more careful now on picking my passing opportunities.
Well, thats a good thing. But not passing on a double-yellow corner is a no-brainer, has nothing to do with anyone's passing skills. Passing should only be done when you have a clear view of the road ahead (straight roads, no hills)...I think they teach that on Day 1 of high school driving classes

Texas also has minimum speed limits (40mph) posted, on highways, not that I've ever been in danger of breaking that law.
I tend to cruise about 80mph on anything non-residential, unless I'm driving my truck here around Ft. Benning - I don't have the money to feed it gas, so I drive 65 and get passed by everyone and their mothers.
