<p>In the UK a double white line does not mean no overtaking - it means don't cross the line (except in certain circumstances). Overtaking of one motorcycle by another motorcycle is not in itself prohibited by the double white line. The exception for overtaking slow moving vehicles basically only works for bicycles, horses and road maintenance vehicles moving at less than 10mph.</p>

<br /><br />in Germany the reason is, that "overtaking" very slow moving vehicles is not considered "overtaking", but it considered avoiding obstacles (or sth similar).<br /><br /></div>
