Hawaii Traffic School Requirements
Confirm with your court or DMV. Traffic-code rules change and vary by court — verify the current rule on Hawaii’s official .gov page or with the court handling your citation before you act. This rule is compiled at medium confidence and should be confirmed before you rely on it. This page is general information, not legal advice.
Hawaii does not operate a point system for traffic violations. Although the state repealed its point-based system, traffic convictions are still recorded on a driver's record. Traffic school eligibility in Hawaii may allow for ticket dismissal through an online defensive driving course, provided that certain criteria are met. The frequency with which a driver may attend traffic school typically depends on the specific course completed.
Eligibility for traffic school dismissal varies based on the type of offense committed, the driver's prior driving history, and whether the court overseeing the citation permits it. Drivers should confirm their eligibility requirements directly with the court handling their citation or with the Hawaii Department of Motor Vehicles. The state's official .gov website serves as the authoritative source for current traffic school regulations and requirements.
