Vermont rules because of this!
I lived in Vermont for ten years and this was a little known fact, but a locally grown buddy clued me in. I rode the wheels off my motorcycle in that state and made liberal use of legally crossing the double yellow.
I did discover that you can get a ticket for "limitations on passing" if you pass 5 cars at one time, but that is another story.

and not impede on coming traffic.
I just looked it up and it states "passing on a double yellow line is not recommended"
