Driving in Hawaii
As you might expect, driving in Hawaii can be much different from driving in other U.S. states. Luckily, Hawaii's Department of Transportation offers the Hawaii Driver's Manual, one of the most exhaustive guides to driving of any state. In it, Hawaiians can find information on licensing laws, traffic rules, and even suggestions for safe driving.
What Parents Should Know Regarding Teen Driving In Hawaii
Hawaii makes use of a graduated licensing system. Six months after a teen's 15th birthday, they may apply for a learner's permit. They must be accompanied by a licensed driver over the age of 21 when practicing, or a parent or guardian if driving between the hours of 11:00 PM and 5:00 AM. Between the ages of 16 and 18, a teen may apply for a provisional license. A teen with a provisional license cannot transport more than one passenger under the age of 18, and cannot drive between 11:00 PM and 5:00 AM. Teens can receive a full license at age 17 if all conditions of the provisional license have been met.
Note that moving violations or at-fault accidents for drivers under age 18 may lead to remedial restrictions including passenger limits, night-driving limits, or suspension of driving privileges.
