Dale, you've been driving a school bus for thirty years!
Yes. I've loved every minute of it.
And you have a perfect driving record. Congratulations!
Thanks. It's a miracle. I’m still alive.
Have you ever had any close calls?
(close call = a situation in which something bad, unpleasant, or dangerous almost happens, but you manage to avoid it
I have a few every single day! Poor weather conditions such as icy roads, reckless drivers, jaywalkers. They are all huge challenge.
(reckless = 無鉄砲な、向こう見ずな not thinking about the possible bad effects of your actions)
(jaywalker = 交通規則を無視して道路を横断する歩行者 a reckless pedestrian who crosses a street illegally)
Whew! Any advice to motorists?
Yes. Drive defensively, drive carefully, don't drink and drive!
Thanks.

Oh my goodness.
How about you, Ken?
I have a Hawaiian driver's license.
Wow!

How fast can you get me to the Toi Airport?
It'll take an hour to get there in this traffic.
How about taking a right at Oi Road? Oi runs all the way to the airport.
I just came from Oi. Traffic is pretty backed up there.
I hate being stuck in traffic!
That's the story of my life.
Ha ha! Mine too!
You look familiar. Are you on TV?
Yes. I'm a travel writer, Osoi Yukiko.
Nice to know you. I'm Noro Susumu.

Would you guys like to take a taxi back to the station?
I don't know.
Traffic is pretty backed up there.
Yeah.
Let's walk.
Maybe walking is faster.
Yeah. Right.
