Having read the Hawaii Driver's Manual several times recently and taking the online quizzes, the question of "What do you do if you have an aggressive driver behind you?" comes up several times. The correct answer is pull over if possible or drive calmly to the next place you can pull over. It says do not confront the aggressive driver.
The tailgating actually seems to have decreased in the past few months. Also, HPD is putting more unmarked cars on Hwy 130, during the shoulder widening stretch (see him tucked back in a driveway sometimes) and sometimes right after the Kea'au transfer station, set back on a side road. The past few months, there have been several times an aggressive driver has been behind me, then pass at high speed. It is so rewarding to see them pulled over up the road. There are two HPD that must have a quota along Hwy 130 between Kea'au and Orchidland. My hope is enough infractions for HPD to warrant a couple more unmarked SUV's. Those things are slick, if you are attentive, the blue bubble or the blue headlight grill is noticeable but otherwise they blend right in.
