No point system
Hawaii does not suspend licenses on a point total. Here is what it uses instead.
Hawaii
Hawaii has no driver's license point system; the State relies on a traffic abstract system to track moving violations. Courts can still suspend or revoke a license for a moving-violation conviction (up to one year under HRS 291C-170).
Other consequences
A court may suspend for up to one year, or revoke, the license of a driver convicted of any traffic law violation involving a vehicle in motion.
Other consequences
A court must revoke the license of a driver convicted of manslaughter or negligent homicide arising from driving a motor vehicle.
Other consequences
The State relies on a traffic abstract system to track moving violations and decide eligibility to keep a license. A 2026 House resolution only urges the Department of Transportation to consider a demerit point system.

What this page does not do
- It does not read your driving record. Only Hawaii State Judiciary (district court traffic violations bureaus) and county examiners of drivers can confirm your current total.
- It does not predict a suspension: levels count only convictions inside each window, and the agency decides.
- It does not cover commercial (CDL) disqualifications or DUI suspensions, which follow separate rules.
