Kudos to you for not sitting on a high horse realizing that most of the enthusiasts break the rules, quite occasionally.
The problem is, everybody can break a rule but few can be “mature” about it.
There is a large difference between reckless speeding in rush hour traffic and passing on median etc VS being alone in a back country road at night for a pleasure cruise. Drag racing in the middle of the city VS empty highways at night.
Unfortunately in this case, attempting a pass on a double yellow is not a “mature” way about it.
This is at least the third High School aged death in the area related to a speed related pass on a double yellow I can remember in the last 6 years.
