You should always follow the local corner stations flag signals, no flag means you are green and can pass... a single/double yellow means no passing.

A few years back I avoided a major accident but found myself at the very back of the pack on a restart (when my car was running good!!!). On the restart the starters stand never waived the green, but the flag stations dropped their yellows! I charged ahead and past just about the entire field. It was a great move until the race was stopped and went back to the previous lap positions.

Also I have been in races where a double yellow was put out then pulled long before a pace car was put out or before the field caught up to itself.
