keeps more uninsured motorists off the road
Most other states check your insurance at DMV renewal time, and they have "fix-it tickets" for minor mechanical issues like a broken headlight.
The insurance industry supports electronic notification to DMV for people with a "probationary" license. Making this a requirement solves the "getting insurance just long enough to pass safety check" problem.
(Note, again, that I'm assuming "problem to be solved", which is not how things are done in Hawaii.)
