line if the solid line is on the driver's side; and if the broken
line is on the driver's side the motorist may cross such double line
if safe to do so.
(3)
The provisions of this Subdivision C shall not be deemed to prevent
a motorist from entering a driveway, service station or other place
of business, or in the case of an obstruction in the highway, from
proceeding with reasonable caution to cross such double line.
The term "motorist" includes the operator of every contrivance
used or capable of being used as a means of transportation.
