We took a family vacation to Hawaii in 2007 to admire the beauty and calm of the islands. We visited Shawn a.k.a. "Skitz," my former U.S. Air Force roommate. I described to Skitz my impression of Hawaiian driving: calm, polite, and quiet. He called this "Aloha Driving" and told me the basics:

I think we should promote similar acts of courtesy in all of our cities. This will make life better for all. I call it "Paradise Driving," to honor the Paradise Coast of Florida (SW Florida to be exact).
I think an appropriate thank-you-gesture would be either a thumbs-up, a shaka (the Aloha thumb-and-pinkie shake), or the traditional wave to show appreciation. This should also encourage many additional acts of courtesy.
Everyone can use a refresher. Ask uncourteous drivers to follow me at DriveLikeMe.com. Otherwise, I will Paradise Driving may not catch on as quickly.
This is Rob G, asking YOU to Drive Like Me. And have a terrific Memorial Day. Remember everyday our fallen heroes who gave everything for our country!
