I don't have enough information here and certainly cannot recommend in Hawaii, but what I once did with a nephew once who was driving 135 on the 405, is we did what I will call "deep sixing" the ticket, which is easier here than it may be there. You set a court date, preferably for a "night court", then continue as many times as the law will allow (at least once). If, as sometimes happens, the cop never shows up testify, case is dismissed. Cops are very busy over here and may be scheduled for the first appearance, but not the second. That's what happened with us, but I cannot recommend, as I only tried this technique once.
Nephew was scolded until his bark came off. He has a kid now, so drives slow.
My brother wanted to admit guilt because nephew was, ahem, guilty, but I pointed out that is not how we do it here: You are presumed innocent, and the state has to prove their case.
