How embarrassing! My mom told me the other day that I've been summoned for jury duty back home. They said I need to fax my drivers license or an electric bill over to prove that I live in Hawaii. I've also wanted to get my DL changed because you can get some major discounts at restaurants and hotels if you can prove you're a local. Anyways.... I go in today, confident with my 10 years of driving experience. I remembered how easy my test was when I took it when I was 16. And let me note that this was only the written test- not the driving one.
Some of the questions were just plain ridiculous. There is no way I could have gotten them right unless I had a lucky guess or I had actually read the manual. But who does that? I'm going to list 3 of the questions to see if you could have gotten them right(NO CHEATING!):
1. How many days after you get a name change do you have to notify the Hawaii Council of Drivers(or something like that)?
a. 10
b. 20
c. 30
d. 60
2. When making a turn, how many ft before the turn do you need to have your blinker on?
a. 25
b. 50
c. 75
d. 100
3. (see sign above) What does this sign stand for?
a. school
b. school crossing
c. pedestrians
d. crosswalk
Oh - and some of the others I was just laughing at. One of them was something like: What do you do when you have a green light, but there are pedestrians crossing on their red?
(I don't remember all the options)
a) stop and wait until the pedestrians have crossed safely
b) get as close to the pedestrians as possible to scare them away from crossing illegally again
c) continue through the intersection - since you are the one with the green light

Stace, are you going to post the right answers sometime or what?
:)
Geez... that is brutal!! In Utah, they let you use the manual to look up the answers while you take the test... if I wouldn't have been able to do that, I would have for sure failed. Good luck on the retake!! How cool though that you'll have a Hawaii driver's license!!
1.c
2.a
3.d
Post the answers soon.
OK, I was waiting to see if anybody else wanted to take the test, but I guess not. Here are the answers (I think)
1.b
2.d
3.a
Have you blinker on 100 ft before you turn?! I don't even know how far 100 ft is! Wow. Those Hawaiian's are serious about they're drivers. Good luck next time! Gotta study up!
2. is the only one I guessed right. 100 ft sounds like gov't protocol for blinkers. I wish people would actually use them in Georgia. Drives Mike crazy and I don't like being in the car with him at those times. I'm sure I would fail a written test too. I mean you take the test when your 15 so it's been awhile.
