Why hurry? It's an island!

| USE SEAT BELTS – It’s The Law: |
USE SEAT BELTS. IT’S THE LAW: This law applies to all occupants of the car, not just the driver. The police are actively enforcing this law and you will be issued a ticket if you or your passengers are not wearing them. Child safety seats or booster seats are required for children weighing less than 50 pounds. |
| SPEEDING |
The maximum speed limit on Molokai is 45 mph. Remember… You’re on vacation, so… slow down… take it easy… relax… you’ll get there… there’s plenty of time. |
| WATCH FOR MONGOOSE |
These small, brown, weasel-like animals like to dart out in front of vehicles. |
| WATCH FOR DEER |
When driving at night, watch for wild Axis Deer. |
| DRIVE WITHOUT STRESS |
Remember… you’re on vacation. |
| BE CONSIDERATE |
The ’Aloha Spirit’… need we say more? |
| PASSING |
The first question you have to ask yourself… do I really trust this rental car?... second… is this really going to save me more than 1 minute? |
| DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS |
Going down that is… Use a lower gear. If you use your brakes too much, they can overheat and slip or fail
completely. |
| RIGHT ON RED |
Right turn on a red light is permitted unless otherwise marked. |
| GETTING AROUND |
The highway runs across the island from east to west with a couple of roads that branch off for short distances. |
| LOST?... |
or just don’t know exactly where you are?
First… you’re on an island. Second… don’t read a map while driving. |
| WATCH THE ROAD |
Inevitably someone in the car is going to scream out… Oooooh, look at that!... Please remember you’re driving and it would be best to pull off to view the sites. |
| USE YOUR HEADLIGHTS |
It’s just a good idea to turn on your headlights when: Dusk to Dawn… on mountain roads… raining or fog. |
