Frequently Asked Questions About Traffic Citations In Hawaii

Clients of the Law Office of Brian S. Kim are naturally concerned about their driving privileges and the potential outcomes of their cases. Below are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions at our firm.

What penalties could I face for speeding in Hawaii?

Speeding is treated as a very serious offense in this state. You can be ticketed for going even one mile per hour over the speed limit, and fines vary. However, if you are caught going more than 30 mph over the posted speed limit or 80 mph or faster on any road, you may be charged with “excessive speeding.” Even a first-time offense can cost you between $1,000 plus a mandatory 36 hours of community service or up to five days in jail and a 30-day license suspension.

Will I lose my driver’s license if I get too many speeding tickets in Oahu?

Hawaii does not use a “point” system like many other states. Every speeding infraction will be added to your record, and your driver’s license can be suspended if you have too many repeat offenses.

What exactly is ‘reckless driving’ in Hawaii? What are some examples?

Reckless driving is typically defined as operating a vehicle in such a way that disregard for the safety of others seems intentional or reckless. It’s a serious driving offense and can include things like:

  • Excessive speeding
  • Aggressive driving
  • Running lights or stop signs
  • Overtaking other drivers where visibility is limited
  • Distracted driving
  • Evading law enforcement

It is a somewhat vaguely defined offense, which is why defenses often focus on the interpretation of events and the specific circumstances.

Do I really need a lawyer for a traffic ticket? Shouldn’t I just pay the fine?

You really do need an attorney. Paying the fine means accepting the charges, and that could lead to future problems if you are charged with an additional offense.
