1 What score do you need to pass the Kentucky (KSP) knowledge test?
Kentucky requires 80% (24 of 30 questions) to pass.
2 By driving on Kentucky roads, you give 'implied consent,' which means:
Implied consent means refusing a lawful breath/blood test after a DUI arrest brings automatic license penalties.
3 On a winding two-lane Kentucky road, you may NOT pass when:
Never pass near curves, hills, or anywhere you can't see far enough ahead to complete the pass safely.
4 What is the shape of a STOP sign?
Only the STOP sign is an octagon. The unique 8-sided shape lets drivers recognize it even when snow or dirt hides the wording.
5 A solid yellow line on your side of the center line means:
A solid yellow line on your side means you may not cross it to pass. A broken yellow line on your side would allow passing when safe.
6 Under good conditions, the minimum safe following distance is about:
Use the 3-second rule: pick a fixed point, and you should pass it at least 3 seconds after the car ahead. Add more time in rain, fog, or at higher speeds.
7 A triangular (downward-pointing) sign tells you to:
A downward triangle is always a YIELD sign. Slow down, be ready to stop, and give the right-of-way to traffic and pedestrians already in the intersection.
8 When a traffic light is flashing red, you must:
A flashing red light has the same meaning as a STOP sign: come to a full stop, then proceed only when it is safe.
9 In fog, the safest headlights to use are:
High beams reflect off fog and reduce visibility. Use low beams (and fog lights if equipped), and slow down.
10 A school bus ahead stops and turns on its flashing red lights on an undivided road. You must:
On an undivided road, traffic in BOTH directions must stop for a school bus with flashing red lights and remain stopped until the lights are turned off.

Kentucky's exam runs 30 questions (24 to pass) covering right-of-way, road signs, rural two-lane driving, and impaired-driving law. Read the Kentucky Driver Manual once, then drill in short daily sets so the wording feels familiar.
The Kentucky State Police administers the knowledge and road tests, while regional Driver Licensing offices issue the credential—so plan both steps.
A modest fee applies to retake the knowledge test.
The road skills test is scheduled separately through the Kentucky State Police.
Regional offices accept card, cash, and check. Confirm current fees with Kentucky Driver Licensing.
Local statutes to flag
Kentucky brings river-valley fog, eastern mountain grades, flash flooding, and winter ice. Driver-test questions like to test downgrade braking, wet-road following distance, and not overdriving your headlights at night.
Schedule your knowledge test, then arrive early with ID, SSN, residency proof, and consent forms. Use the wait to review rural-road and impaired-driving questions, then check in calm and ready.
