There is nothing in the Highway Traffic Act that says it is an offense to pass on a double or single solid line. The lines are suggestions made up by infrastructure road crews - it could be slightly different from crew to crew. It is however, unlawful to make an unsafe pass - and that's arguable - if visibility is good and one can see farther comparing a pickup to a car say, then a safe pass can be made on a solid line of any kind if there's no oncoming traffic.

Admittedly, those places on our roads are few, but they are there.
