Such is the evidence, unrefuted, of the consequences of such a dangerous mixture of drugs, alcohol and the use of a 2,000 automobile, whether speeding or not.Here is the killer:Even if YOU are driving carefully, you risk having one of these clueless, selfish, drunken drivers, driving into you.
Today's drivers are relying too much on the safety device on their vehicle to save them. Seat belts and air bags can only do so much. The rest of the safety is still common sense. Like don't speed and drinking behind the steering wheel. Sit in the back and let someone else drive.
When are we going to realize it's not the road that's dangerous it's these dumb drivers. People are drinking, doping, whatever then getting in their vehicles because they think they can. You can't stop stupidity unfortunately. I'm sorry 2 people died because other people decided to be irresponsible and drive while under the influence. You can make all the laws you want to but how in the world do you stop stupidity!
Sobering and Depressing at the same time.It's illegal to smoke pot, but it's ok to get drunk.Get into a car. Plow another driver or cyclist over.It reminds me of the 1980's toy gun recall. Get the toys off the shelves and keep selling the real ones.

"Sgt. Greg Lopez, who works at Kahuku's police station, said that the highway isn't the problem, it's the people."Why the split? We need to improve both road design and drivers' decisions to make our roads safer. Plenty of work to do on both and plenty of well-evidenced ways to do it better than now.
Kama, I understand your point, Alcohol is far more dangerous and disorienting than even the most potent weed.Proud of you,,, you know exactly what he's talking about.. I doubt very much he intended to insinuate that drinking and driving and plowing were ok...
Hawaii drivers are among the worst I've seen in my travels. They love to speed and tail gate. There seems to be a lack of common sense.
Sgt Lopez,No matter how hard you educate people about drinking and driving, it will never improve. Because I am a religious person, it is the evil force that people cannot understand that drives people to do things that are harmful to others. Have you heard or realize we all have this sin nature in us, no one is perfect. Judged:
Re Laie Pt: So what's new? In the day the scenery is breathtaking. In the night, the scene changes into pakalolo fumes mingling with raucous laughter and clinking beer bottles. There is NO law enforcement to stop the disorderly drinking, speedy drunk drivers, littering, and drug dealing!!! Judged:
<<People still drink, they still drive, they still speed. You gotta educate people more.>>I disagree. Everyone old enough to drink is already aware of the pitfalls while driving when drunk, so further education isn't the answer. Draconian penalties would better serve the issue because it becomes a cost/benefit ratio for many. For instance, drive while intoxicated above the limit, automatic one year in jail along with a $10K fine and loss of vehicle. No exceptions. It would scare a lot of people and in turn, decrease the number of drunk drivers on the roads. Of course, there is always that ten percent who think they won't get caught and nothing can be done to dissuade them to do the right thing. However, the draconian penalties will have a negative ripple impact. Jail costs, impact on families of those convicted, decreased alcohol and tax revenue, etc. Gee, maybe I haven't thought this through. Oh well, it's just a thought. Judged:
Traffic crashes that result in death are tragic. But once the ambulances, coroners meat wagons, and tow trucks have done their works, who's left to police up the debris? Glass shards, metal parts, hunks of rubber, beer cans and broken booze bottles? Is there a reward for any body parts we find that the coroner missed? How much for a finger? Foot?

Sgt. Greg Lopez, who works at Kahuku's police station, said that the highway isn't the problem, it's the people.More incompetence from a derelict police department..drug arrest of HPD officers in Las Vegas....no HPD officers around during the massive traffic jams due to an overpass blockage.....no HPD officers directing traffic at Kamehameha Highway's problem areas...too many drinking coffee and eating donuts!By the way....why did HPD stop the investigation of the former corrupt mayor Jeremy Harris when he was "implicated" for embezzlement?Yeah.....Hawaii's finest, "To Serve and Protect"
You know whats sad? These same people read the papers and watch the news just like the rest of us. Shake their heads and say this won't happen to me. The next week they get in their cars drunk and kill innocent people.
