The Aloha State provides diverse landscapes, from bustling city streets in Honolulu to quiet roads leading to remote beaches. As a newly licensed driver in Hawaii, you’ll quickly notice that speed limits are generally lower than on the mainland. For example, you usually won’t see speed limits higher than 60 mph on Hawaii’s freeways. It is essential for every driver to recognize and understand road signs, as they guide them across all of Hawaii’s varied environments.

The official Hawaii Driver’s Manual (Hawaii DMV Handbook (HI Driver's Manual) 2026) is the primary resource for aspiring drivers. This manual describes safe driving practices, vehicle equipment and inspection, and the licensing process. You should read its contents at least once, and when you’re ready, give our practice tests a try.

During your learning phase, you should use the most efficient tools available. While the official driver’s manual describes driving theory in detail, the most determined students turn to practice tests to boost their learning potential. Our Hawaii DMV Written Test Study Guide practice test can help you pass the official written knowledge test on your first attempt. This educational resource is up to date as of January 2026 and consists of 20 questions. Each question has multiple answer choices, but only one is correct.
