Double white lines where the line nearest you is solid. This means you MUST NOT cross or straddle it unless it is safe and you need to enter adjoining premises or a side road. You may cross the line if necessary, provided the road is clear, to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are travelling at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.

Unfortunately you are gonna have to get used to it. Most drivers on the road seem to be more like this nowadays.
They call it using their initiative and tghey would have you believe it shows them to be a 'better' driver.
If everyone on the road right now was made to retake their test, the roads would be a much quiter place to be lol.
The fool in this car was driving on the phone, when my wife and I shouted from the pavement for him to get off the phone he pulled over and then got abusive. Too stupid to realise he was in the wrong I guess.
He got very aggressive and I was hoping he would throw a punch to give me an excuse to sort him out, but he was just full of hot air.
Anyway I Googled his reg number and found out he is a licensed Taxi driver for Woking Borough, so anyone asking for a taxi in the area might want to avoid this fool. His arrogance suggested that one day he will knock a kid down in a build up area while he's on the phone or texting.
Agree completely with the above. This guy is a danger and should be banned, idiot.
