Technically you can and can't, if you're driving down a any road with a continuous double yellow line (not broken) you can never pass (even if there's not a car in sight going the other direction but people tend to get annoyed and will pass only if there's not a cop around). On the other hand if you driving down a STRAIGHT road, and there is a broken line on your side with a continuous solid line on the other side of it, you CAN pass (See below link).
Never. The solid double line is solid for that very reason, cars are not to pass on either side under any circumstance. If one side is solid and the other is broken, traffic on the broken side may pass if it is clear but traffic on the solid side may never pass.
Another View: Occasionally, and unusually, there ARE certain circumstances in which you can - - - by the authority of a police officer directing traffic - - to pass a disabled vehicle blocking your lane of traffic after carefully ascertaining that there is no oncoming traffic which would be in conflict.
If the vehicle is stationary in the roadway blocking traffic, with its hazard flashers on (UNLESS IT IS A SCHOOL BUS OR EMERGENCY VEHICLE) you may proceed cautiously around it providing oncoming traffic is not a hazard.

You may CROSS a double yellow line if that is the only way to legally negotiate a turn into a property. The double yellow line signfies only that you may NOT PASS another vehicle. Of course, the direction of the person directing traffic must be obeyed.
When two parallel solid yellow lines separate lanes of traffic, the only legal maneuver you can perform is turning left into a driveway on the opposite side of the road.
Double yellow continuous lines means stay in your lane, which is the right hand lane on a 2-lane road in the United States. You are not permitted to cross double yellow continuous lines. In some jurisdictions, the police will ticket you if your tire even comes close to or touches the double yellow lines because you are encroaching on the opposite lane's space.

You need to stop your car and wait if there is no room in the same lane. The double yellow line marks areas where passing is unsafe due to lack of visibility.
