ROH §15-7.7
Speed violation charges and civil negligence rules
Read the official text at honolulu.gov ↗When someone is charged with speeding, the ticket must state the speed they were going and the legal speed limit for that area. Also, speed limits do not automatically make someone at fault in a civil accident case; the injured person must still prove negligence.
