Close Encounters of the cop kind - Lee M-S - 03-14-2015
Coming home tonight, we encountered 5 cop cars sirening up Puainako around 8:15, then had to wait until a 3-cop-car block cleared the ever-so-busy intersection of Road 1 and G.
Anybody know what either was about?

It could have been a really bad accident up that way and it might be reported if it was a fatality, maybe, maybe not. Been noticing a lot more people are driving like they are in a frenzy -- on an island. This is a recognizable characteristic of a recent mainlander, to drive like there are thousands of miles ahead and 75mph freeway speeds.

All the ones zooming by me look young male and local, but those mainlanders are sneaky and easy to blame everything on.

It's funny Ted likes to blame everything on the transplants...
Yet, speed has no color. It can happen to any one of us.

Yeah, I was going to comment on Pahoated's message too. But, then I decided not to dignify it with a response.

I agree with Mtviewdude's observations. Strange thing is, whenever I drive on the mainland or anywhere else for that matter, the driving skills and awareness of what other drivers are doing always seems to be far superior compared to drivers here.

Seems that the 3 rules of big island driving are:
1.When you know your lane is ending ahead, always wait till the pavement ends before you merge. The farther you push it, the more points. Never merge early, as that's a sign of weakness.
2.No matter how fast the car ahead of you is going, always ride their bumper. Whether they are doing the speed limit, or 30 over, ride their bumper!! Leaving a safe distance between your car and the car ahead is a sign of weakkness. And if it's dark, ride their bumper!! How can you properly blind the driver ahead of you if you don't ride their bumper??
3. What's a turn signal??
Having said this, I admire how curteous we all are when someone is waiting to make a turn, or to cross the rode. In this aspect of driving, big island drivers are allmost always very generous.
