On the one hand the rules are the rules (laws) and it is illegal to cross the double line. PERIOD. On the other hand, if there is clear visibility and no other conditions is it such a bad thing to provide a little additional margin of safety.
I have two words for this statement......side streets. Yes, cars enter the roadway from side streets. This is when it becomes an issue for a head on collision.
