You read it your way and I'll read it mine.

When that second car easily fits past the solid white line but is sitting in the travel lane where it blocks oncoming vehicles from completing their left turn then it seem to me that it would be in violation of the section of 316.2061 that reads, "...without obstructing the passage of other vehicles..."
