## Why may a Hawaii driver think a motorcycle is farther away than it is?

The official Hawaii Driver's Manual on hidot.hawaii.gov says the small profile of the motorcycle may make it appear farther away and travelling slower than it actually is.

## After you stop at a Hawaii circular red, when may you turn left?

Hawaii allows a left on a red light after stopping when you turn from a one-way street into a one-way street where traffic is moving to the left, unless a sign prohibits it. You still yield to pedestrians and vehicles. Testers say Hawaii never allows a left on red. The one-way-to-the-left exception is the item. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Hawaii handbook.

## A train approaching a Hawaii crossing is giving an audible warning. How far away may that train still be when you must already treat it as a stop?

Hawaii requires a stop not less than 15 feet from the nearest rail when a train approaching within 1,500 feet (460 m) gives an audible warning of its approach, as well as when a signal, gate, or flagger warns you. Testers wait until the Hawaii locomotive is on the pavement. Fifteen hundred feet of horn is already a stop. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Hawaii handbook.
