And yes, some viewers might like to point it out that crossing the yellow line is dumb. So be it. Once you suffer a loss because of someone else's carelessness you might understand better. In the mean time, stick it out, stand up for your great video, and accept the criticism openly.

By the way, I wasn't criticizing the video, it's great - a real work of art. Just the crossing the yellow doesn't sit well with me.

Yeah okay, but relooking at the video the yellow line crossover was pretty minor, maybe a foot or so, and the forward visibility looked pretty reasonable, although with the wide angle lense on the camera that is probalby distorted. I don't think crossing the yellow is that big of deal when you have more than adequate forward visibility. Heck I crowd over on the yellow all the time with my other ill handling vehicles (F250, Volvo wagon usually stacked with other activities on the roof) as long as I can see and would not cause a problem for someone coming the other way (my calibration point is roughly someone in an Elise driving like an idiot). Maybe I do this because my first car after school was a Peugeot 505 TD, the suspension was so soft if you didn't cut the corner you'd come to a complete stop, now that would be dangerous! I don't crowd the yellow much in the Elise however...but I do slowly roll through just about every stop sign I have ever seen, easier on the clutch....that probably comes from my days in college driving Kenworths in the summer.....sorry if any of you fell asleep reading this...
Okay, has this nit been fully picked now?
