This is something you might notice when you arrive here. People do drive slower.
Let's say you are new to the area and you're not sure exactly which street to turn onto or which house you want to stop at, so you are driving a little slow. In southern California (and probably elsewhere on the mainland) there is no doubt that if you look in your rear view mirror, someone is going to be right on your tail and they are not going to be happy about your driving. Rarely is this the case around Puna and Hilo.
I remember being new and not knowing exactly where I was going and cringing when I looked in the rear view sure that some local would be right behind angry about the speed I was traveling at, but every time I looked, there wouldn't be anyone there. They had either gone around me or they stayed comfortably back and let me find where ever it was I was going without having to push me.
