This is an old, old joke, worse than some of mine.All traffic mustkeep to the left of the line (except in an emergency or for access). The single continuous white line down the centre of the road means you can't cross it at all. And double continuous white line down the centre of the road means you can't cross it at all, at all.
I can't remember seeing a double continous line with a break.You can't cross either. If you have a double line, and it is broken on your side, you can cross it. Any further questions from the slow learners?

Someone has a sense of humor.!Not sure if its appropriate here though!.I just looked this up and found an answer.(below)
Can anyone clarify the difference

Is this like an Askaboutmoney cicada or something?I just looked this up and found an answer.(below)

Unbelievable 2012 and now again??Is this like an Askaboutmoney cicada or something?
Can we expect you to ask this in 2034 too?
Single White Line in the centre of the road V's double white line.
I just looked up the Rules Of The Road online. Single white line is not mentioned, can anyone tell me what is the difference between a double white line down the centre of the road, and a single white line down the centre of the road? Both must not be crossed for overtaking.www.askaboutmoney.com
That makes no sense.A double white line can determine that overtaking can be only in one direction determined by which side has the broken line
That makes no sense.
That should clarify it..I get it.

From the link:
"Take a look at the image above. You can see that the middle of the road has both a broken and solid line.
For drivers on the left, they must adhere to the broken white line. This means they are allowed to overtake when it is safe.
For drivers coming towards us on the right, they must obey the solid white line, which means they’re not allowed to overtake at all.
You should stick to the line that’s closest to your side of the road."
Here is the answer:Except the the OP references continuous lines, not broken.
As an aside I'm sure not many people remember/know the difference between:Double continuous white lines: these denote no overtaking or straddling the line as in the case of a single continuous white line and you may only cross them for the same reasons, if there is an obstruction in your lane such as a vehicle, bicycle or horse moving 10kph or less, or to enter a side road or driveway if it is safe to do so
Double broken white lines indicate solid white lines ahead. They are the indication of the start of the double white line system ahead.Double broken white lines - Signal a solid white line lies ahead.
