OneTryPass wrote these questions from the Kansas Driving Handbook (Revised February 2022). Pick an answer to see if you got it; each explanation names the part of the handbook it comes from.
The Kansas Driving Handbook sets 14 as the minimum age for a Class C or M instruction permit. A parent or guardian must sign a written application for anyone under 16.
A Kansas permit driver may drive only with a licensed adult in the front seat. That adult must be at least 21 with a year or more of driving experience, and no one else may ride up front.
K.S.A. 8-1558 sets 55 mph on county and township roads unless a sign says otherwise. Unposted state and federal highways allow 65 mph, and designated separated multilane highways 75 mph.
Kansas lists parking more than 12 inches from a curb among the places and positions where parking is not allowed, next to spots like a crosswalk at an intersection or a bridge.
Under K.S.A. 8-1546, skip the U-turn on a curve, near the top of a hill or anywhere you cannot be seen by other drivers for at least 500 feet. Local ordinances and signs may limit U-turns further.
The handbook says to stop when a center turning lane lies between the roadways, whichever side the bus is on. Only a median or other physical barrier between you and an oncoming bus lets you keep going.
A BAC of .08 or higher breaks the law for every driver, but a Kansas driver under 21 can also be arrested for alcohol impairment at .02.
K.S.A. 8-1530 asks you to proceed with due caution and move into a lane that is not next to the stationary emergency vehicle. When a lane change is not possible, reduce your speed instead.
Kansas passing rules forbid passing within 100 feet of an intersection or a railroad grade crossing, and within 100 feet of a bridge, viaduct or tunnel when your view is blocked.
Kansas gives four chances at the written test, and each retake comes with a $1.50 re-exam fee. After a fourth failure you wait at least six months from that last exam.
The Kansas knowledge test has 25 questions on traffic laws, and you also identify road signs by their shape, color or symbol. The handbook does not state a passing score, so OneTryPass does not quote one.
You can take the non-commercial exam online and bring the passing result to the driver license office, or take it at the office in person.

Kansas issues a Class C instruction permit at 14. Teens who are 14 or 15 need a parent or guardian to approve, and a certificate from driver education can replace the written exam.
A restricted license can follow at 15, once the permit has been held for a full year and the teen has 25 supervised hours and approved driver education. Online driver education does not count in Kansas.

You can try again the next working day after paying a $1.50 re-exam fee. Kansas allows four attempts; a fourth failure starts a wait of at least six months from the last exam.

A permit holder drives only with a licensed adult 21 or older in the front seat and may not use a wireless device except to report a crime or call for emergency help.
At 16, a teen with less restricted privileges may drive anywhere from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. with at most one non-sibling passenger under 18. Before an unrestricted license, a parent signs off on 50 driving hours, 10 at night.
