I also never go over the center line when driving an automobile. That is dangerous. I will never understand why drivers move to the left of the center line when a golf cart is coming up on their right in the MMP. There is room for both of you unless you are driving a huge truck with a wide load.

Wow! As a male driver who has driven well over a million miles let me say that I definitely will cross over the center line when no other vehicle is in the other lane to safely pass pedestrians and bicyclists on the side of the road. If I can’t do that due to another vehicle being in that other lane I slow down until that vehicle passes and then swing to the left to safely pass. I also will drive to the very right side of the road to allow trucks and other cars to safely pass people and bicyclists on their side of the road. Your insistence of not ever crossing over the center line is a very dangerous mindset. I remember an elderly woman where we used to live who insisted on not ever yielding or moving over for other vehicles as she thought she had the right of way. My wife was petrified by her dangerous driving. She died when a a distracted young driver crossed over into her lane. My wife said she probably was thinking that car should not be there and she stayed in the lane and did not take evasive action. To say you would never cross the center lane is a very dangerous statement.
