crossing double yellow lines?

[Burai]

hi guys,
question lang. kasi yung friend kong babae nahuli before tapos ang kaso daw eh crossing double yellow lines. anong kaso po ba yun? kasi first time ko lang ma encounter din yan or first time ko lang narinig yun. and ang masama pa dun nung nangyari yung event sa friend ko, eh obstruction lang ung nilagay sa ticket. does it make sense na obstruction lang ang ilagay or nararapat ba yun?
siya nga pala, ang alam ko (ayon sa naka paskil dito na guide sa tsikot) na our license MAY NOT BE CONFISCATED at a traffic apprehension. the only time they can do so is if you are part of an accident, or it is your 3rd violation and you have not settled your fines yet.
does it also apply here? i think hindi pa naman siya nagkaka 3rd strike na offense.
need some help about this topic mga sir para ma guide ko naman maigi yung friend ko KUNG talagang mali yung ginawa sa kanya. salamat!

double yellow lane means both lanes CANNOT overtake anytime.

kung 1 white 1 yellow... kung saan yung yellow yung lane na yun ang di pwede overtake.

obstruction kasi mas mababa ang fine AFAIK... kaya siguro yun na lang nilagay as to disregarding road sign. pwede kasing tirahin ka ng wreckless driving pag makulit ang enforcer.

Solid double yellow lines at the left lane mean it is unsafe to pass. Never cross it to pass another vehicle. The line maybe crossed only to enter or leave a driveway or private road or to make a permitted "U" turn.

To add to that, technically, only if the white line is broken can you cross from that side. Sadly, sa Pilipinas, most of the time mere suggestion lang naman ang lines sa streets. Unless may pulis. Na gustong manghuli.

Mas nakakalungkot (nakakatakot actually) na malaman na marami palang driver sa kalsada natin ang hindi alam ang ibig sabihin ng mga traffic signages.

^ Pati yung simpleng yellow box with an X sa intersection, blinoblock pa. Lalo na mga dyip !

BTW *TS, yep. Ang alam ko bawal kuhanin ng MMDA ang lisensya mo.

so bawal kahit tignan lang ng enforcer or mmda and license mo? hmm.
