Am I the only one who sees the correlation between the bad habit that Hawaii drivers have of pulling over the solid white line to make a right hand turn and pulling over for an emergency vehicle?
I've see it happen time and time again...the driver in front wants to turn right and pulls over...across that line...and other drivers pass them on the left. THAT...my friends...is the problem!
First of all...on Page 34 of the Official Hawaii Driver's Manual, it says, "Single Solid White Lines indicate that movement from lane to lane is hazardous." And pulling across the solid white line on the road to make a right turn when there is no turning lane is hazardous and reckless.
Until drivers change that bad habit...it will be dangerous for emergency vehicles coming from either direction!
