About the Kansas permit test
The basics, in plain English, from the Kansas Driving Handbook.
25 questions, 80% to pass
The knowledge test has 25 multiple-choice questions on traffic laws, signs and pavement markings, and you need 80% (20 right). It isn't timed and usually takes 15 to 20 minutes. (Kansas Driving Handbook, p. 94)
Permit from 14
You can get a Class C instruction permit at 14 after passing the vision and written tests, or with a DE-99 form from a driver education course. A parent or guardian applies with you if you are under 16. (Kansas Driving Handbook, p. 12)
A licensed adult 21+ beside you
On a permit you drive only with a licensed adult aged 21 or older, with at least a year of driving experience, in the front seat, and nobody else up front. (Kansas Driving Handbook, p. 12)
50 hours before fewer limits
A parent or guardian signs that you drove at least 50 supervised hours, 10 of them at night, before a 16-year-old's limits ease to driving alone from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. (Kansas Driving Handbook, p. 12–13)
Two-second rule
Kansas teaches a two-second following distance in good conditions and four seconds when conditions are poor. (Kansas Driving Handbook, p. 17)
No texting at the wheel
Kansas law forbids writing, sending or reading texts and email while driving. It doesn't count GPS or weather reports, but any distraction is dangerous. (Kansas Driving Handbook, p. 19)
