Why it matters in Hawaii
What a speeding ticket costs in Hawaii
- Typical fine
- Roughly $100–$300 total for ordinary speeding; $500–$1,000 for excessive speeding
- License points
- No point system — violations tracked on your traffic abstract directly
- Insurance impact
- Insurers pull your Hawaii traffic abstract at renewal; a speeding entry commonly costs 10–20% in added premium for several years.
- License risk
- Ordinary speeding is a civil infraction with no suspension, but excessive speeding (30+ mph over or 80+ mph) is a petty misdemeanor with a 30-day license suspension on a first conviction.
Frequently asked questions
Does Hawaii put points on my license for speeding?
No — Hawaii has no point system at all. Instead every disposition lands on your traffic abstract, and that abstract is what insurers and employers see. Keeping entries off the abstract is the whole game.
What makes 'excessive speeding' different in Hawaii?
Driving 30+ mph over the limit or 80+ mph anywhere is a petty misdemeanor under HRS § 291C-105 — a criminal charge with a $500–$1,000 fine, a 30-day license suspension, and possible jail. It is fought in criminal court, not by mail.
Can I contest a Hawaii speeding ticket without flying back for court?
Civil infractions under HRS chapter 291D can be contested with a written statement or through counsel appearing at the District Court hearing. We connect you with a Hawaii attorney who can run the challenge while you stay put.
Is it worth fighting a ticket that has no points attached?
Yes — because there are no points, the abstract entry itself is the penalty, and it's what insurers surcharge against. A dismissal keeps the abstract clean, which is worth more than the fine you'd save.
How long do violations stay on a Hawaii traffic abstract?
Entries remain visible on the abstract for years, and there's no point-decay mechanism to soften them over time — another reason preventing the entry beats managing it afterward.
