I learned to drive the "Aloha" way on the road to Waimea. It's a climb from 1000 feet to 2500 feet with no passing lanes. The traffic goes the speed of the slowest moving vehicle, often these log trucks carrying eucalyptus to the port village of Kawaihae.
Another impediment to fast driving on our side of the island and at our elevation is frequent fog and rain. The view to the left is a frequent one. Once you get used to driving slowly, it becomes a habit.
