It doesn't matter where you go, you could get the same examiner that might've failed you the last time you took it. You might irritate your examiner and give the intention that you aren't paying attention to the road. Look both ways, then pass when you see its clear and safe.Īvoid talking too much. When switching lanes, use your mirror AND look over your shoulder.Īt a stop sign or red light, do a COMPLETE stop behind the line. Use your TURN SIGNALS! (thanks to one of the comments who mentioned this) And please continue to use them AFTER the test! Don’t just stop because you passed and are able to drive legally now. Physically move your head and look all the way back. You do not want them to get too bad to the point where it shifts your ability to drive safely.Ĭheck BIKE LANES. Every examiner is different and could give you a different route. Exaggerate them, but nothing too crazy.ĭO NOT depend on the maps people post on sites. Know the roads in that area.ĭo your HEAD CHECKS. Ko'olau could make you park on a hill, make sure you know which way to turn your wheel uphill and downhill. For example, Kapolei almost always does parallel parking. There are different things commonly required at different DMVs.

I had friends who had to retake it a number of times at Kapolei DMV and eventually passed at Waianae or Wahiawa DMV (many say it's easy there). Like many, I scoured the internet for tips, what to avoid, and talked to friends who've taken it already. Probably wasn't the smartest idea, but I actually passed. Mind you, I stay westside and hardly go and drive Kaneohe side. I live on the westside and my dumbass was desperate one morning and found an appointment open for Ko'olau DMV. It could be helpful to anyone who is planning to take it in the future. Since road tests are canceled at the moment, I want to take the time to make a post where people can post their experience from all over Hawai'i.
