+1. Glad you're OK.
I know you're in NY, but from the CA DMV vehicle code:
If there are two solid yellow lines dividing lanes of traffic, you
may not cross over them to pass another vehicle. You should
never drive to the left of these lines.
You may cross over a double solid yellow line to make a left
turn at an intersection,
to enter or exit a road or a driveway, or
to make a U-turn, if it can be made safely and is not otherwise
prohibited.
