Driving in a line of cars in the construction area, some dude decides to pass a couple of us. We we're not exactly going slowly either. It takes some real cajones to pass anything in that hilly and curvy area.
On the way up, someone is coming towards us in our lane. I guess they didn't note the oncoming traffic before they decided to pass. Fortunately, no cars to the right of us so we were able to get out of "their" way.
Kona side going down another car was using our lane as a "third lane" to pass as he was coming UP the mountain and we headed down. I guess the two lanes weren't enough for this one. We had to drive on the shoulder to get out of "his" way.
Also, on the way down we're in a line of seven cars. Truck passed all of us at once. Three oncoming cars were just a couple seconds away. This was near the Waikii Exit.
We were not going exactly slow, either. Bet that one had to be doing around 90....
Amazing we made it back home in one piece....
