Hawaii residents looking to obtain their driver’s license will now have to pass a new and improved test. The Hawaii Department of Transportation announced that they have revamped the Hawaii driver’s license test to ensure that drivers are well-prepared and knowledgeable about Hawaii’s unique driving conditions.
The new test includes updated questions on topics such as local traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving practices. The goal of the new test is to ensure that drivers have a solid understanding of the rules of the road and are better equipped to navigate Hawaii’s highways and byways safely.
“We want to make sure that all drivers on the road in Hawaii are well-prepared and knowledgeable about the rules of the road,” said Hawaii Department of Transportation spokesperson, Kamehameha Kamaka. “The new driver’s license test is designed to test drivers on a wide range of topics to ensure they are ready to hit the road safely.”
The Hawaii driver’s license test will now include questions on Hawaii’s unique traffic laws, such as the state’s strict rules on texting and driving, as well as questions on how to navigate Hawaii’s winding roads and unpredictable weather conditions. The test will also include questions on how to safely share the road with pedestrians and cyclists, as well as how to drive defensively in heavy traffic.
In addition to the written portion of the test, drivers seeking a Hawaii driver’s license will also be required to take a road test to demonstrate their driving skills. During the road test, drivers will be evaluated on their ability to navigate various driving scenarios, such as parallel parking, merging onto highways, and navigating through busy intersections.
“We want to make sure that all drivers on the road in Hawaii are confident and skilled behind the wheel,” said Kamaka. “The road test will give us a better sense of a driver’s abilities and ensure that they are ready to safely navigate Hawaii’s roads.”

Making sure that drivers are well-prepared and knowledgeable is essential for keeping everyone safe on the road.”
To help drivers prepare for the new test, the Hawaii Department of Transportation has launched a new online driver’s education program. The program includes study guides, practice tests, and video tutorials to help drivers familiarize themselves with the topics covered on the new driver’s license test.
“We want to make sure that all drivers have access to the resources they need to prepare for the new test,” said Kamaka. “Our online driver’s education program is designed to help drivers study and practice before taking the test, so they can feel confident and prepared on test day.”
