DMV.com FREE Practice Test Sections

The official Hawaii Driver’s Manual is the basic source for the questions you will find on DMV.com’s FREE Practice Test and on the actual written drivers test as well. In order to avoid reading the entire driver’s manual, you are recommended to begin by reviewing our simplified DMV.com Study Guide. This guide was created as an easier way for you to learn everything you need to know about road rules, traffic signs and signals, parking, and safety. After that, you can test yourself using our FREE sample practice test which will enable you to pass the written knowledge exam on test day.

Become Familiar with Traffic Laws

Drivers who want to become safer and more responsible participants in traffic need to know all traffic laws in order to prevent accidents and successfully pass the DMV written drivers test. Prior to heading to the HI DMV office, you are advised to take the DMV.com Sample Practice Test at home and check your knowledge on traffic laws. That will help you realize where you often make mistakes so that you can review the sections before taking the written knowledge exam.

Recognize Traffic Signs

As a driver on the public roads of Hawaii, you need to recognize traffic signs. They are usually placed on the side of the road and can be found in different shapes and colors. Your responsibility is to understand them in order to become a safer driver. The written drivers exam has questions on traffic signs, including:

  • Traffic sign colors and shapes.
  • Traffic sign identification and meanings.
  • Placards and warning signs.
  • Signs for turns at intersections.

Use the DMV.com Study Guide and Free Sample Practice Test to learn how to use traffic signs.

Obey Traffic Signals

Traffic signals have a significant role in traffic life and are just as important as traffic signs. You need to learn them before taking a written drivers test. DMV.com advises you to check your knowledge by first taking our Free Practice Tests and then moving on to the official Hawaii DMV written exam.

Familiarize Yourself with Pavement Markings
