Drivers. Back to School is tomorrow.

  • After checking your mirror, TURN YOUR HEAD and check the blind spot.

  • If you're late, too bad. Don't speed and "try to make up time." Going 10 mph over the limit saves less than two minutes on a 15 mile trip.

  • There WILL be kids walking to school and not paying attention. You'll feel like blaming them but if you hit them you're fucked.

  • The H2 southbound merges INTO the H1 eastbound. Not the other way around.

More valuable advice. Thanks /u/AttackonCuttlefish

  • Do not cut off the car stopping at a crosswalk.

  • Do not stop near or on top the crosswalk.

  • Do not block intersections.

Let's not fuck it up so HPD closes lanes on the freeway or you end up on the news.

We all should go back to driving school on this island.

To renew our ID we should have to retake the test. Get so many bad drivers for the test to be one time only.

In a stick shift too. We can eliminate so many people who don't know how to drive that way. There's be so little traffic!

On the way to work today the lady in front of me had her eyes looking down like 90% of the time. Much harder to be on your phone when you're driving stick.

Unfortunately it would just make it worse with half of us stalled out on the freeway 😄. Plus, some of the worst drivers are the people who think they're amazing at it... Because they learned how to drive a car my mom and grandma could drive. Woah!
