This kind of behavior pisses me off and gives Porsche driver's a bad name. One of the worst offenders of this type of behavior is actually one of the most beloved people in the Porsche community, Magnus Walker! Anyone that knows the back roads of Angeles Crest Hwy or Mulholland and it's surrounding roads knows how dangerous they can be, crossing the double yellow is just an idiot move! Whoever this is, I'm sure you'll see it, STOP! Don't be that guy. The live you save, may just be your own.
Damn. There're some questionable double-yellows, but on that road they should be triple-yellow. He was flying absolutely blindly. Some people don't give a crap about other's lives, but at least they do for their cars. That guy neither. Glad OP braked to give him space, or it'd had been a nasty accident, and OP's car involved as well. I'd send that video to the CHP (to get his plates). Seriously. He'd either learn that way, or after having an accident. That'd be the right thing to do IMO.
There's a good chance that had that white Sub been a bike, they would have not seen it and collided, besides all the other possibilities after that....
Unfortunately, between the tweakers and the a-hole wanna be racer boys, this is all too common in the mountains around here. I've been riding motos and driving in the mountains around here for 22 years and have just about seen it all. Surprisingly, the second worst move I ever saw was from some douchebag in a gorgeous CGT who double yellowed at speed in heavy traffic on a Sunday afternoon. But for the grace of God nobody was killed that day.

Therein lies a big part of the problem. Basically all of the LA area mountain and canyon roads are double-yellows end-to-end, with infrequent turn-outs rarely used by slower traffic; along with ridiculously low speed limits that are generally disregarded, so have the rules of passing on double-yellows.
