You can tell a lot about a society’s cultural values by how people drive and if you’ve traveled to different parts of the world (or the USA for that matter) you can see a huge difference between, say, New York City and Reno, Nevada.

Hawaii also has it’s own driving style and if you come from a culture of aggressive driving, you’ll need to adjust if you want to get along with everyone else. I’ve also found that when understand our “Island Way” of driving and go with the flow (rather than against it), you’ll have a much more enjoyable and relaxing driving experience.

Our local girl Aina who was born and raised in Hawaii and currently going to school in the mainland brings an interesting perspective on how local drivers are different and things you should know, if you plan on driving here.
