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.
Original questions by our teamBased on 2026 HI Driver Handbook
Questions are created and maintained by the Driving-Tests.org content team following our multi-layer editorial process and updated whenever the HawaiiDMV changes its handbook or website information. Official sources we check:
Do not get discouraged if you make a mistake. Beginners unfamiliar with driving theory should ignore their score during their first few attempts. Use our practice test to learn from your mistakes and improve your knowledge through repetition. We provide a detailed explanation for each question. This feedback explains the reasoning behind each correct answer, helping you retain information more effectively as you continue practicing. Note this explanation down in a notebook or notebook app and revisit the content during future practice sessions.
During your learning phase, you will learn and master driving theory over a few weeks. Consistency and perseverance are key, so you should approach the licensing process with patience. Take your time to review the contents of the official driver’s manual, practice with our Hawaii Written Test Study Guide practice test, and study at your own pace.
