I took the test yesterday and passed. Make sure to look over your shoulder and accelerate and brake smoothly. always stay under the speed limit and make sure your turns are smooth and that you don't go into the other lanes. make sure to put on your hand brake/emergency brake every time they ask you to park. make sure to completely stop and count to three before going. Always do head checks at intersections and don't go over the line at a stop sign. The main things is be respectful and polite and drive smoothly. Hope this helps.

I just passed my test earlier and wanted to share some tips: 1. Failing to completely stop at a stop sign is an automatic fail. 2. It's okay to hit the curb while parallel parking. Make sure not to run over the curb. 3. You may be asked to parallel park on an uphill or downhill. Make sure to turn the wheel when finished parking. Uphill - front wheels must be turned away from the curb // Downhill - front wheels must be turned toward the curb 4. Always do traffic checks. Make it obvious that you're checking the mirrors, for cars coming from left and right, etc.

My daughter bumped the curb in Kapolei during parallel parking and had points taken away. The lady listed it as climbing the curb but there is no way she climbed a curb in a small car. She has parallel parked with me dozens of times and did great but occasionally slightly bumped the curb I didn’t think it would matter.

This video was very helpful. I drove this exact route and passed on the first try. A few tips: 1. Parallel parking - You’re most likely going to park either uphill or downhill. Signal before backing into space and remember to turn your wheel to the left when parking uphill and right for downhill; followed by hitting the emergency parking brake. Signal when leaving space. Completely ok if you hit the curb and glance at backup camera so take your time. 2. Speed limit - Do not go over or under speed limit. The driver before me failed for going 28 mph on a 25. 3. Head check and signal when making turns and parking. 4. Speed bumps - Quite a few speed bumps at the dmv parking lot so be aware of those. Also slow down when you come across pot holes. 5. Stop signs - Come to a smooth and complete stop then wait 3 seconds before proceeding. Remember to always stop behind the line. I would recommend practice driving this route. It will make the road test a lot easier. Good luck!!

Just passed today & have some tips regarding the test: 1. 2022 dmv requires turning ur wheels to the right for both up and downhill 2. i believe i got the new “dragon lady”. she marked me for going 15 mph in a 25 for a few seconds, and for swerving slightly (touched , but didn’t cross, yellow line) to avoid a CHICKEN tht was right in front of my wheels. she said i was supposed to keep going even if i hit it. 3. signal for absolutely everything in the parking lot 4. keep within 5 miles under the speed limit, you’ll get marked for going slower than that or any faster than the limit. 5. i didn’t have to parallel, just park along the curb. it’s fine if u tap curb. thts all i can think of, good luck!!

At the end of August 2024 we checked the status of the road test in Ko'olau. The course was almost the same route as the two videos we have previously released. Drivers were instructed to park along the way, but none of the tests required parallel parking. We plan to release a new route soon. Until it is released, please practice on the existing video course.

Very impolite and doesn’t even interact with you, she’s making up her own rules and always try her best to look for something you did wrong!! I really hope you guys won’t go with her!! I think I did really really good but she was making excuse and saying o wasn’t going fast enough; while I was at 32mph and speed limit being 35mph. She’s also saying that you have to turn in streets, leaving you with no time to get ready for head check and etc… I don’t know if she fought with her husband this morning but she wasn’t having it and she was such in a bad mood! I highly advise to pass you’re driving test with one of the men in koolau as all the dude in koolau are Hawaiian and so chill! Even the Hawaiian grandma was so nice but I got the short Asian. Good luck everyone!!

The licensed driver accompanying you must have a valid driver’s license and be 21 years of age or older, and must remain at the road test office for the duration of the appointment and testing. The test vehicle must have a valid and current vehicle registration, proof of insurance and valid and current safety inspection and must pass the pre-check conducted by the examiner. See Required Documents and the Road Test Brochure above for more information. The vehicle identification number (VIN) on the vehicle registration and proof of insurance must match. You must not be late for your appointment. If you are late, you will need to reschedule the test.

Here are my tips after taking the test here and finally passing on my 2nd try • Do not go over 25mph even going 26mph will get you points off. Try your best to stay below 25 but don’t go to slow to the point you get dinged for driving slow. Make sure you slow down when you’re going down hill • The intersection on Kahekili Hwy when turning right. Make sure you come to a complete stop before the line. If the light is red. HEAD CHECK. Creep up a bit to the crosswalk and then and proceed to the right and merge (use your signal) and match the speed (35mph). If light is green you can just go but still make sure you head check • Parallel parking: it’s important to take your time. They want you to take your time so don’t rush. Reverse smoothly. (When leaving out of the parallel parking just reverse a bit before driving out because they think you’re too close when leaving the parking even if there’s plenty of room in the front) Just remember to always use your signal, head check, check your blind spots, come to a complete stop (at least 3 seconds), know the rules of first come first serve at a stop sign, smooth acceleration and braking and staying under the speed limit I think it’s really important to practice the route so you can get comfortable with the road. Goodluck everyone! Don’t feel defeated if you fail try again!!
