Before you get a Hawaii driver's license you must pass the preliminary examinations: a vision test and a knowledge test on the rules of the road and traffic control devices. You then take a road test. Drivers under 18 go through Hawaii's graduated licensing program: an instruction permit first, then a provisional license.
