How about a double yellow line, when a car approaches a bicyclist crawling up an incline?
Are we sure we know the whole story behind the citation?

EDIT - IGNORE, INCORRECT -> Surprisingly, Florida law contains an exception which specifically allows you to cross the center line of a road to pass a bicycle. It does not seem contain the same exception for two lanes traveling in the same direction.
Florida law allows crossing the center line of a road to pass a bicycle. It also allows crossing to the left of a solid line to pass a bicycle. What it does not allow is crossing a solid white line (no passing zone) to pass another vehicle that is NOT a bicycle.
