Mahalo for supporting Honolulu Star-Advertiser. Enjoy this free story!
Recently while driving, I scanned oncoming traffic to see an old station wagon driven by an even older man (white wild hair on top and facial hair) with his dog, a good-sized one, not a toy-sized dog, sitting on his lap with the top of its head just below the eyes of the driver.
I thought to myself, Would he prop an infant or toddler like that, unbelted in front of him, while driving his vehicle? Why would any sane, safe driver consider driving that way?
Many other Hawaii drivers who consider their dogs or other pets as close partners also choose to drive like that. The police ought to cite these drivers, as these are more common occurrences than you’d think. Das why hard!
