What are the Kentucky State Driving Laws? |
|
Answer:
Kentucky uses a point system to track driving · Reckless driving – 4 points · Tailgating – 4 points · Careless driving – 3 points · Passing violation – 5 points · Speeding – 3 – 6 points (depending on speed) Earning 12 points in a two-year period will result in your license being suspended. When driving in the state of Kentucky, it is essential that you follow all posted speed limits. On interstates and parkways, you can travel 65 mph. State highways have a speed limit of 55 mph. Business and residential districts have a speed limit of 35 mph. Also, there are certain interstates in Kentucky where the posted speed limit is 70 mph. If you fail to follow the posted speed limit, you will be fined based on how far over the speed limit you are going. Also, if you are going 26 mph over the speed limit, you will face the possibility of a 90-day suspension of your driver’s license. Kentucky does not restrict the use of cellular phones while driving. If you are going to drive in Kentucky, you also must follow the state’s seatbelt laws. All children who are 40 inches tall or less have to be in a child safety seat. All other passengers must be wearing a seatbelt, and the driver is responsible for seeing that this happens. The fine for breaking this law is $25, but this can increase if any other charges in your traffic violation require you to go to court. Also, anyone who is 17 or younger who is on a motorcycle must wear a helmet. You are required to yield the right of way to any emergency vehicles that are signaling an emergency. If you can, move to the right hand side of the road and stop. Allow the vehicle to pass, and do not attempt to follow it. You can proceed on your way after the emergency vehicle has safely passed.
