I think all US guys drive like idiots.  WE are all Hawaiian style drivers!

Bicyclists pies me off. They lean on my truck, cut me off, come super close in the bike lane. I'll share the road when they obey the laws. Because of them I have to refill my windshield wiper fluid too often.

Has anyone noticed that the converting of the Lunalilo freeway from 3 lanes to 4 has made traffic on the freeway worse than it was before? Now people are afraid to drive at a reasonable speed because the lanes are too narrow. But I think if you can't drive just 50MPH, stay off the freeway!! And another thing, tailgating and rubbernecking should be capital crimes punishable by death!!

The narrow lanes are more dangerous on the freeway.  Almost got banged this evening when a lady in a late model Honda accord was trying to reach for stuff in the back seat she swerved into my lane 3 times!

Call me crazy, but I don't think that's an example of how the road is dangerous.  The driver?  Yes!!   :crazy:

Try and go through that stretch with the narrowed lanes next to a commercial vehicle such as a bus and or semi they have no room in the lane they take up the whole lane with no wiggle room. I feel for them having to drive through that stretch of the H-1.

Well the accord is as almost as wide as the lane with 6" to spare.  Everyday I see near misses

Yes it seems as though our DOT engineers are just as bad as our drivers.   Why in the world do we have onramps immediately before offramps? Seems logical that if it were the other way around there would be alot less congestion in those areas where cars are trying to merge on and off in the same area.   ??? ???

You should see the backwards back in parking spaces at the high school.  Seems to be working though.  Only in Hawaii.

Logic? Common sense?? No, no, no, you don't understand. That's against union rules as it requires the use of brain cells which have been either been outlawed or become highly regulated in the state of Hawaii.

I need to get a GoPro and start recording the antics I see every day on the road and start my own You Tube channel. I'll call it "Driving with Aloha".   >:D

Exactly....example: the 50 yard patches of asphalt along the Pali Hwy.  I'm guessing so that they can screw traffic twice as much as if it was done once!?

Forgot to mention so add narrow lanes with stupid drivers and its accidents waiting to happen! Seen it happen many times.  Most people because they were on their cell phones!

or changing lanes and not looking

In the past week, I wrote down every single incident of dumbassness on the road I encountered.

22.

That's how many dumbass things committed by drivers in the span of a week.

Low and behold, 20 of the incidents involved women, 19 of those Asian women.

but were they hot asian women?
