I live in Southern California... It ALMOST goes without saying that yes, I do pass over double yellows. Most do. However, most are smart about it. There must be a reasonably clear view of the other lane, and it must be clear with plenty of time to pass. There are many areas in my town that are double yellow only because someone complained in recent years and they changed it from open passing to no passing. We also have a lot of old fogies in our town that drop from 5mph under the limit to 15 or more under if there is a single cloud in the sky. I wish I was joking about this...
