HAWAIITALKS!

Attn: Guy in the silver/gray car that I yelled at:

I yelled at you to get off your phone because you were swerving and almost hit you. You weren't on your phone perse, but you were texting with both hands. Yep.

Attn: Guy in the [gold/bronze/copper] van:

I didn't cut you off. You ignored the THREEEEEEEEE merge left signs and decided to drive all the way to the END of the lane and try to merge into the two feet between the G37S and me. You could've just slowed down and gotten in behind me, or, ideally, merged BEFORE the end of the lane. Also, to EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU IDIOTS (unless there's heavy traffic and no one wants to let you in) that drive to the end of the lane when there are several merge left signs, what the **** are you doing? Unless you've never been down that road before, you have NO excuse. And if you drive so far that you get run off the paved road (I'm talking to you, black Silverado), you deserve it.

Attn: Douchebag in the blue integra with altezza tails:

You revved me, I revved you back. Don't give me the bird because I embarassed you in front of (what I think was, I have terrible eyesight) your passenger.

Attn: Silver 350Z that (I assumed) wanted to race me:

Were you challenging me to a race? You revved me at a stoplight. I dunno, but when you passed me while I was at the stop light on Meheula, I gave you a peace sign, and you looked at me like I was crazy.

Attn: Tourist couple in that ugly little 3-wheel rental thingy (what's that thing called?):

You should not be driving on the road. First off, you brought your New York driving to Hawaii, and that doesn't really work with that 30hp motorized tricycle. If you decide to cut me off, you better have the acceleration to compensate, because tricycle and people WILL damage my front end. I can't afford for my insurance to go up.

And for apologies:

Attn: Silver Mazda MPV:

I'm sorry. I really didn't see you. The sun was setting and it was directly in my rear view and side view mirrors. You blended in with the background, my dirty back window, and my wing. I know I pissed you off (that was obvious), but the important thing is that no one was hurt and there was no car on car contact. Please accept my apology.

Dimitri has some awesome rants.

ATTN: idiot taxi driver(s). DO NOT ever assume that when I signal to get into the left lane, it means that someone actually let me in. The moment I signaled, you decided it would be a good idea to merge right into the spot that I was in from the right lane (I was in the middle). If the guy in the left lane didn't let me in, you surely would've clipped my fender. Also, don't make like you did nothing wrong when I give you the finger.

YOU and all your idiot taxi friends are the reason why I laugh at the Charlie's taxi commercials.

the guy in the silver BMW in front of you was waiting to turn right because there were pedestrians in the crosswalk. he was following the law.

no need to sit there and honk at him and make mad faces. if you PUT YOUR CELLPHONE down and paid attention to what was going on around you, you might have noticed this. good thing HE was paying attention. if you were at the light, you probably would have turned and clipped the old folks in the crosswalk.

Lol thanks lois. And what's an Honorary Pointy Stick? Sounds like it's gonna hurt >.>

Attn: White Honda Civic Hatchback with color matched rims
I revved you because you were acting like a tard. You don't tweet your tires going out of a gas station where you put FIVE dollars worth of gas in. You probably wasted that much trying to rev your engine that fast to do it. You don't take corners like you're running from the cops. Or else you WILL have to run from the cops. Oh, and when you tweeted your tires the last time, sounds like you almost crashed. I hope all the pedestrians and other motorists around you didn't get hurt.

Attn: Semis and work trucks:
WTF do you think you're doing going 70mph+ on a highway with a decent amount of traffic? Do you know that you require SOOOOOOOOO much more stopping time in case of an accident, especially when you're going faster than you should be? Also, don't cut in front of me.

Attn: Teenagers in the white pickup driving in front of me near the side entrance of Mililani Shopping Center on Kam Hwy:
Don't play around passing a drink back and forth from OUTSIDE of the windows. You almost dropped it and could've caused an accident. That would be especially bad for the people in the bed of the truck.

Attn: Lady down at the end of Wood Creek in Luanani Valley:
I wasn't going too fast. I was aware of you and your child. I was making a uturn in the cul de sac at 12mph. My tires tweeted because I was in Sport mode and my ASC was off. Shit happens.

Also, LEARN TO MERGE PEOPLE. I swear I'd be typing all day if I decided to rant about everyone who didn't merge properly. You don't cross a solid white line to merge just because you see an open spot. You don't drive all the way until the lane ends, and you CERTAINLY don't try and squeeze into a spot you don't fit into.

Now for the kudos.

Attn: Yellow NSX
Your car is badass. Can I see it next time I see you?

Attn: Graphite Gray Evo IX I passed on H2:
You're a cool guy and you don't afraid of anything. But seriously, thanks for being classy All the other STis and Evos I've passed have been less than considerate. Not even acknowledging my waves and such.

Attn: Tard that honked coming off the freeway.

We were at a red light. Yeah, sure, it was exceptionally long, but we were all aware of the red light except for YOU. Besides, where would you be going in such at hurry at 2pm?

Attn: Motorcycle cops:

Why are there so many of you out with radar guns now? In the past two days I've seen more of you guys than in the past month.

Attn: Downtown:

WHY ARE YOU SO GODDAMN CONFUSING?!?! I was lost for half an hour trying to find my way back to the freeway going west -.-

__________________

Attn idiots I encounter daily: For the last god damn time, tailgating me IS NOT going to make the car in front of me go faster.

Cutting me off at an on ramp is not going to help you get to your destination quicker, it just makes you an asshole.

Changing from the "fast lane" into the exit lane, last minute, does not help you reach your destination quicker either, you're just endangering everyone that you're cutting off. I hope you miss the exit and skewer you car into the guard rails one day.

How to use a turn signal: signal, head check, make sure other driver sees you, then proceed. How most people use a turn signal: cut in front of the other car the moment you hit your signals without head checking. assume that the other driver sees you.

__________________

Sorry to the few people I cut off divebombing from the left lane over the crosshatched lines today =/ I had no idea where I was going and I didn't have time to waste figuring out what exit I could take next :c

Yeah, and that turn signal thing pisses me off more than merging. I drive between 1-4 hours a day and see at least 5 people having to swerve back into their lane because there was someone there.

*sigh*

__________________

It's just one exit that really irritates me because I KNOW the guys are doing it on purpose. It's at the school street/airport viaduct exit going ewa bound. I know the people dive bombing over there are doing it on purpose because they are all going back on base.

why do big truckers insist on driving up the H3 in the fast lane? GTFO the way stupid fukk, there's no way you can drive faster than a vehicle that wants to go fast in that lane.

also, to the fukking idiots that wait all the way up until they are right behind these slow movers in the right lane, then switch over because you absolutely CAN'T be behind such a slow-moving truck, then proceed to drive just as slow as the big rig in the right lane, FUKK YOU AND I HOPE YOU DIE.

cell phone ban is in effect, please put the phone down and focus on your driving. if you MUST make that call, please invest in a bluetooth. if you can afford an MB, you should be able to afford a bluetooth headset as well.

attn: lady going the wrong way in a one-way lane in the parking lot. the arrows on the road (that's right, the BIG WHITE ARROWS) are not just suggestions, they are directional traffic flow arrows. if you PUT YOUR CELL PHONE DOWN long enough to look at the arrows on the road, this might have registered.

oh, and for giving everyone going in the RIGHT direction the stink eye, i don't think a bluetooth headset will make you any better a driver or person.

i was trying to figure that out, i think he means the exit/offramp right after the onramp from Likelike and just before the Fort Shafter exit.

(???)

i don't get assholes who fukkin drive 5 miles under the speed limit in the fast lane, then when you finally get past them, they get mad, then they drive about 85 mph, speed all the way past you, up about a mile ahead of you, then slow down and you pass them again, and they're driving slow again.

is it to show that you CAN go above 50 mph? why don't you simply drive 55 to 65 mph, a reasonable cruising speed, instead of driving like a fking slug, pissing off 3 cars who cut in front of you, then driving like a maniac, possibly getting a ticket ahead, or even crashing? i swear some people are so fcuking dumb. how the fcuk do they even get a license?

That's the one. I think that's middle street, not school street. My bad.

Are you kidding? Even if you're retarded, you can still get your license from anywhere but Dillingham. The low standards at all the other stations are just disgusting. Perfect example would be Wahiawa. Literally drive around the block with minimal traffic without crashing, and no parallel parking....that's a pass.

Attn: Idiot in a TRUCK attempting a POWERSLIDE at the intersection on Kam Hwy near McDonalds:

You're a ****ing idiot. The road was wet. You're in a TRUCK. You floored it too late in the turn, then you oversteered one way, then the other, and almost crashed into the trees. You looked like a ****ing dumbass. If this was the mainland, I would assume the famous last words "hey watch this" were involved. But yeah, retarded. Oh, and if the road wasn't wet, you would've rolled the **** over.

__________________

LOL...get used that here. When the roads get wet after a long dry spell, all the idiots think they're drifters. Seriously.

The "Drifters" come out, too. But they can't drift. About the only one that I know that actually can control his car in in a slide drives a G35 Coupe - black with some nice Volks. But he's cautious and won't push it when there's runners/kids around. I'll still report his ass if I ever get a good look at his plates, but I can respect what he's capable of doing.

All the young'ins where I live graduated from bikes/skateboards to trucks when some loud ass exhaust and/or stereo systems. And when the rains come, speeds INCREASE.

I'm waiting for one of them to wrap their car into a light pole. Seems to slow them down a bit until complacency increases with time again....then repeat.

hmm did you consider a tie down strap?!?


we have found the democrates. Step 2 is taking care of the problem. By that I mean form a goverment agency that ties stuff in your vehicle for you

saw that article - even saw the shiny new white tow trucks all lined up, hanging out at ala moana beach park one morning when i was doing my dawn patrol run. they're nice.... and also really expensive.

i don't think she did - judging from the picture, it doesn't even look like it fit in the bed of the truck (looks like it's hanging out over the lowered tailgate).

i don't think some people w/ trucks know what to do with loads. driving on the airport viaduct, a folding picnic table (unsecured) flew out of the bed of a truck several cars in front of me.

people in our lane had nowhere to go w/ cars on both sides of us, so we just had to run it over (fortunately, it was one of those plastic tables). luckily nobody lost control, panicked and swerved into an adjacent lane, etc...

also luckily, it didn't go through the windshield of the car behind it.

hate to say it, but in this case, it's probably a good thing these guys helped the lady secure her load. otherwise she'd just drive off and lose her load again, and somebody might really have gotten hurt from her ignorance/incompetence.

i've heard large trucks like rubbish/yard maintenance trucks have to secure their loads, is there a law like that for personal use trucks too?

if traffic stops in front of you, it's probably a good idea to slow down too. don't just panic and swerve into the next lane w/o checking, because there MIGHT be a car next to you. fortunately, i saw you come speeding by and slowed down in case you pulled a bonehead move, and you did not disappoint.

THEN you swerve back into the right lane (cutting off another car) and speed down the road some more.

not enough that you are talking away on your cellphone in one hand, papers in the other (no wonder why you were swerving), you HAD to go and almost clip the girl on the bicycle.

if you can afford a benz, surely you can afford bluetooth headset?

and while i'm at it - officer in aforementioned patrol car - would it really have been too much trouble to stop this guy and give him a ticket, considering he was doing this right in front of you?
