Defying Death On Kunia Road

Published by aloha under Opinion

Sorry, no picture today … and I apologize in advance for the following RANT.
Can somebody please tell me why people today are in such a hurry that they’ll risk not only their own lives, but those of others to save a shave a couple of lousy minutes off their drive time?
