Driver Education
This fully narrated supplemental drivers ed program will help will provide first-time drivers a comprehensive understanding of rules of the road, state laws, driving techniques and much more. Although this course does not satisfy your Kentucky drivers education requirements, this course is a great way for a first-time driver to get prepared for their upcoming learner's permit test.
This course includes six hours of full driver ed training giving the student a full multimedia learning experience. The student will have access to eight of the premier driver education videos and, finally, the student will test his or her knowledge with three permit practice tests. Once completed, the student will be ready to pass his or her test with flying colors.
If you're under 18, you'll be responsible for completing 60 hours of driving practice with a licensed adult, and 10 of those hours must be completed at night.
You'll need to show proof of those hours when you apply for your regular driver license.
After You Get Your License
All drivers under the age of 18 must complete a four-hour Graduated Licensing education course within one year of obtaining a license, and all counties will have free courses provided by the Transportation Cabinet.
These courses can be substituted by high school driver education classes, as well as private driving school courses that are approved by the Cabinet. You must provide the Division of Driver Licensing (DDL) with a copy of your completion certificate.
To enroll in the class, contact the DDL at (502) 564-0276 to ensure yourself a spot in your county's class.
The class deals mostly with making decisions as a driver, including issues related to drinking, attitudes, and seat belt laws. No hands-on instruction is given in this class.
Additional Education
Aside from the education course, both the DDL and the
Kentucky State Police offer ways for drivers to educate themselves.
Division of Driver Licensing
The Kentucky DDL offers a multitude of publications available online.
State Police
The Kentucky State Police also offer a variety of helpful links regarding driver education and statistics.
Check out the Governor's Highway Safety Program and a page about Crime/Traffic Information and Publications for facts regarding underage drinking, child passenger safety, statistics regarding violation codes and collisions, as well as a special teen section.
