Kansas's permit knowledge test is 25 questions, and you need 20 correct (about 80%) to pass.
Pick an answer on each question to see whether you got it right, with an explanation.
This is a short sample — DriveDrill has 200+ Kansas questions
and full-length mock exams in the app.
Q1. In Kansas, a new resident who moves to the state must obtain a Kansas driver's license within:
A 1 yearB 90 daysC 30 daysD 10 days
Kansas requires anyone moving to the state to obtain a Kansas driver's license within 90 days of moving there.
Q2. A flashing yellow traffic light means:
A The intersection is closedB Yield only to traffic on the leftC Stop before entering the intersectionD Slow down and proceed with caution
Flashing yellow means proceed with care. You do not have to stop, but you must slow down and watch for cross traffic and pedestrians.
Q3. In Kansas, a driver under 21 is over the limit with:
A 0.05% or higherB any detectable amount of alcoholC 0.01% or higherD 0.02% or higher
The under-21 threshold is far below the 0.08% adult limit, so roughly one drink can reach it. The licence consequence is administrative and starts before any court date.
Q4. On a long downgrade you should:
A Coast in neutralB Ride the brakes steadily all the way downC Shift to a lower gear and use the brakes in short applicationsD Switch off the engine
Continuous braking overheats the brakes and they fade. Let the engine hold the vehicle back and brake in short firm applications.
Q5. In Kansas, the maximum speed limit on rural interstate highways is:
A 75 mphB 80 mphC 65 mphD 70 mph
That is the highest limit the state allows on a rural interstate. The posted sign always governs, and a lower speed can still be required by conditions.
Q6. You are involved in a crash. You are required to:
A Move the vehicles and go if nobody is hurtB Wait for the other driver to call the police and then leaveC Leave if the damage looks minorD Stop, exchange information, and give reasonable help to anyone injured
Stopping, identifying yourself and rendering aid are legal duties everywhere. Leaving the scene turns a minor crash into a criminal charge.
Q7. Your hood flies open and blocks your view. You should:
A Look through the gap or out the side window, slow down and pull overB Speed up so the wind holds it downC Brake hard immediatelyD Open your door and lean out
Use the gap under the hood or the side window, signal, slow gradually and stop off the road.
Q8. Driving far below the speed limit when conditions are good:
A Is always safestB Can be dangerous and may be a violationC Is required of new driversD Is allowed in any lane
Traffic that moves at very different speeds causes crashes. If you must go slow, stay right and let others pass.
Q9. The pedestrian signal shows a flashing orange hand with a countdown while you wait to turn. It means:
A Pedestrians must runB The crosswalk is closedC You may turn through the crosswalkD People already in the crosswalk still have the right of way
The countdown is for people already crossing. Wait until the crosswalk is clear before completing your turn.
Q10. In Kansas, you should not make a U-turn on a curve or near the top of a hill unless other drivers can see your vehicle from at least:
A 1,000 feetB 500 feetC 100 feetD 200 feet
Kansas law prohibits U-turns on a curve, near the top of a hill, or anywhere you cannot be seen by other drivers for at least 500 feet.
