does it seem like drivers are getting a lot more aggressive recently?
You guys have no clue, come to Kauai and see about poor drivers. Not necessarily aggressive just plain stupid. 35mph in the 50 zone. When the light just turned red it means go cause you have a second or so before the green light traffic gets going. I actually wait when I get green lights just to make sure no one is racing through their red light. When the light is green the idiots slow down thinking its gonna change to yellow. Stop signs don't mean crap. They hurry to run the stop sign to get in front of you and then drive the 35 in the 50 as mentioned above. Yield signs actually get more stops than an actual stop sign. And finally, recently Kauai put in a few round-a-bouts on our island…are f***ing kidding me.
There's more, the newest thing is drifting way over lane lines when in turns/curves on the highway causing opposing traffic to have to move over so as not to get hit head on. Oh and when a jogger, cyclist or the like is on the shoulder instead of waiting for a clear lane to pass them drivers risk head on collisions by pushing opposing traffic out of their right of way to get around the jogger, cyclist and such.
Wheeeew! I just had to get that off my chest. It surprises me, literally, that there are not more traffic related deaths on Kauai with how crazy, with out due regard for safety and or concern for others that Kauai people drive.
Ok stay safe drive safe and wear a helmet when you drive a car on Kauai.
