a single yellow line means overtake at your own risk. double yellow line means do NOT overtake. these painted signs have begun making sense since i started driving along the highway.. the national road trekking manila to ilocos and back. sometimes, i wonder what these are for specially since any driver could possibly make a good judgment whether a portion of the road is safe for overtaking or not.
but then, i guess not. people in the engineering profession took into mind the safety of travellers. they know better. they anticipate an element of danger.
some people make good perceptions. others are simply careless and like to zoom through the roads in a millisecond!
and these single and double yellow lines are there for the purpose of keeping these mindless drivers from falling into the temptation of zipping through. they serve as REMINDERS that whether you like it or not, you have to keep to your lane; otherwise you'll be in trouble. BIG trouble.
i'd like to think that God's Word works the same. it's there for careless people like me who sometimes are tempted to fall into the desires of this world and go on my own way. and whether i like it or not, if i go and overtake, i'll crash into some bigger mess i wouldn't have had should i have stayed and obeyed.
