Hawaii Highway Safety Act
Hawaii · Highway Safety · §§ 286 to 286-91 · 208 sections
Overview
The Hawaii Highway Safety Act governs driver licensing and the regulation of motor vehicle operators in Hawaii. It establishes an examiner of drivers to administer applications, examinations, instruction permits, provisional licenses for younger drivers, limited purpose licenses, renewals, and reciprocal recognition of out-of-state licensing, and it sets out who may not be licensed along with restrictions attached to particular licenses. It also gives the examiner authority to suspend, revoke, or cancel driving privileges — including for operating under the influence of an intoxicant — and requires that convictions and license actions be recorded and reported, while attaching related functions to the licensing process such as voter registration, anatomical gift designation, and advance health-care directive designation.
