Simple speeding (sounds strange) is not a felony, if other things become involved yes it can be. Such as are other vehicles present, where you in a crash, do somebody get hurt or killed. Yes as strange as it sound coasting is illegal, not really sure why. Traffic laws over all have some weird stuff in them. Not in Hawaii but in Florida up until about 1985 the law said that you would stop at an intersection fire a gun and wait 30 minutes to proced just in case a horse was coming. As a retired PO I hate speed traps, I view them a revenue genators and just dont think that is what the law is about. No more time then I have been able to spend on the BI I know that Waikoloa Village is a speed trap every time I go thru there I see several PO's and I always wonder the same thing WTF is that about. Most of time you see these spots because people have complained.
I like it here in the shallow end of the gene pool
