Answer:
Hawaii does not have a specific law addressing overtaking bicycles. However, the general overtaking law states that a driver must pass another vehicle on the left at a safe distance. The driver should not return to the right side of the roadway until they are safely clear of the vehicle being overtaken (Haw. Rev. Stat. § 291C-43).
