Kentucky Driver Manual

The Kentucky Driver Manual, prepared by the Kentucky State Police is close to being the only reference you'll need for all your driver licensing questions. You can pick up a copy at your local driver licensing field office, or download it in PDF format. (Obtain a free copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader to access PDF documents.)

Remember, the manual isn't just handy for new drivers; all drivers can benefit from the wealth of information included in the manual.
