You have multi lane roads?
Lucky you!
I pass any way I choose that is safe
and there are no cops around.

You can't use the HOV lane, but always
you want to use the left most lane.
But I'm used to Seattle traffic( 20+ years).
I learned how to drive in Los Angeles.
I do fine in San Francisco.

If you don't like way I drive get off the sidewalk!
There is a reason my main vehicle is a 4 wd truck.

Be safe!

If you're driving 5 mph over the speed limit in the left lane, the only law you're violating is speeding. There is no expemption for speeding in the left lane unless you're an emergency vehicle.

Not about speedingbut drivers who just stay in that lane and not moving over. Tour buses, trucks and other slow movers

Hawaii is the only state I've ever been in( and I've been in many)
where it is illegal to exceed the speed limit to pass someone.
Not even 1 MPH over posted is allowed.
The only ticket I ever got in 20 years of Hawaii driving
was for exceeding the speed limit while passing on a
two lane road.
Judge reduced my ticket after I explained it to him,
but it still cost me over $100.


 

On a multi lane hwy in Hawaii, the left lane is for cruising, sightseeing etc and the right lane is the passing or “fast” lane.  I thought all locals knew that.

Yeah, some people get in "their lane," and it's theirs until they exit the highway.  If the #1 (left-most) lane has the least traffic, and they aren't exiting soon, I've seen cars stay in that lane from Waikele to LikeLike.  All the while, people coming up behind have to make multiple lane changes to get by.

 

My daughter lived in Europe for 4 years.  She loved driving there and said if you were in the fast lane and wanted to pass, all you had to do was flash your lights and drivers would move over.

that doesn't work here....neither does logic apply here.
exits and on ramps are on the right - so why HI drivers think the right lane is a passing lane I don't know I do remember that a HS exGF told me that the left lane if for going long distances.
I've had the pleasure to be behind Roberts tour buses going 5-10mph below posted speed limits, work trucks, elder folk and no amount of lights flashing or horn honking will get them to move.

There is a clown posts on my local liberal rag ranting about drivers driving faster than he wants to go.

Relates with pleasure how he likes to block traffic and watch the line of cars behind him add up.

Where I'm from, the left lane is pretty much for passing only, not for cruising.
Works well cuz you can literally maintain speed.
If both (or all) lanes are full and if your holding up traffic from passing in the left lane, results are being tailgated, honked at and flipped off once you get the #ell out of the way.

I know on the hwy from Vegas to Front Sight, if 5 or more cars are behind you, you must pull over to let them pass and there are signs to tell you that.

Drivers going slow in the left lane are a$$holes.  Yeah, I know many who argue that they are "within their right" to go speed limit in any lane.  Yeah, it's your "right".  But they'd still be an a$$hole. . .

I gotta warn some of my friends and relatives when going to the Mainland about the left lane being a literal passing lane.
Like pass and get out of the way and don’t start brake checking the guy you passed. Just keep on trucking.

My opinion. The horn here? What, jus’ scrap. The horn is generally off limits in Hawaii, if you’ve grown up here, unless their asleep at a light. Then it’s a friendly tap.
Unless Someone is reversing and is gonna slam you. That’s emergency horn blare. Usually other person is shame.
Or if someone full blast cuts you off, then horn blare. (But that still might be just scrap scenario)

Honolulu, there is no left lane. We don’t travel far enough at speed.
Slowdown, this not the Mainland. (Should at least go 5 above the speed limit though on most highways)
Should be going faster than the guy to your right though.

Where you live no more left lane. It’s a 2 lane road.

There are many stories of people trying to "enforce" their view of traffic laws by blocking people so they can't pass.  Some of those stories involve someone trying to get an injured or ill person to a hospital for emergency treatment.

I've personally been involved with 2 vehicles on OK City where a Mercedes ran up next to me in the left lane.  I was already next to another car in the far right -- I was in the middle.  The Mercedes then slowed to match my speed.

I could tell what was going on even before a pickup truck ran up behind the Mercedes and was honking, flashing and "communicating digitally"  with that driver.  Then the truck got behind ME, doing the same, hoping I would speed up so he could pass.  After 20 or so seconds of that, the truck ran up onto the embankment to the right -- nearly hitting an overpass support.  The instant he had room enough, he managed to guide his nearly out of control, bouncing in every direction vehicle back onto the highway .... just in time to take the exit ti I-35S!!

We called I-40 in OKC "The Idiot-napolis 500".  There's no shortage of dumbass rednecks acting like that on any given day.

People play dangerous games, and the Libtard posting that needs his license revoked.  He's going to cause someone to die one day, if not because of his driving, but by intentionally interfering with others on the road.

Passive-aggressive road rage.

People continue their ' I do what I like faka what' attitudes while driving, no surprise. 

What actually surprises me is the amount of time people waste driving behind you trying to get you to speed up,  when other lanes are open and they could have just gone around you. 

I usually drive in the 2nd to the left lane,  and at speed limit,  but will adjust to help the flow of traffic.

The worse are the truck drivers coming from the water park to ewa,  who like to block 2 of the 3 lanes, yet get angry and blow their gotten when they are continually cut off

I guess no one notices the "slower traffic keep right" signs posted on the "freeway" . . .

There's always someone driving "slower" than you.  "Sign must mean 'that guy'".

Ever notice :

-  the people going "too fast" are driving faster than you and are directly behind you.

-  the people going "too slow" are going slower than you and are directly in front of you.

It's all relative!

This is Hawaii,  I thought all those signs and lines were just "suggestions".

This is the only state I've driven in that sells the study booklets for licenses at a drug store (now available online) and asks each test-taker if they've studied, giving them a chance to review "sample" questions before the test -- just to make it "fair".

No wonder we see people who drive like they got their licenses from a box of Cracker Jacks (no waycist).   

I've had licenses in NC, MD, OK, TX and now HI.  All the others required knowing the material.  Here, you just have to recognize the answers from a list you looked at once.
