Practice blood alcohol limits, DUI rules and medication: 27 questions based on the Kansas Driving Handbook, 15 of them on Kansas's own rules.
Licensed drivers agree to testing
Testing may be of breath, blood, urine or another bodily substance when lawfully requested.

No, it is still DUI
Being entitled to use a drug does not excuse driving while impaired by it.

0.08 or more
A result of 0.08 or more measured within three hours of driving also counts.
48 hours
The 48 hours must be consecutive; the court may instead order 100 hours of public service.
30-day suspension, then restrictions
The 30-day suspension is followed by 180 days of restricted driving; a second occurrence brings a one-year suspension.
A one-year suspension
After the suspension, driving is restricted to an ignition interlock vehicle for two years.

A one-year suspension
The court may impose driving conditions instead of the suspension.

We wrote these practice questions from the facts in the Kansas Driving Handbook (Non-Commercial Driver's Manual, AAMVA 09 Model Test Version, Revised February 2022 (dlhb.pdf on ksrevenue.gov, 112 PDF pages, file last modified 2023-02-21; still the handbook linked from the Division of Vehicles' Driver's License Information and FAQ pages), read 2026-11-10. Page numbers cited are PDF pages, which equal the printed page numbers. PDF pages 6-8 (document lists, Real ID) and 99 are images with no text and were not used. Because the handbook predates several law changes, every legal rule used in questions was checked against the Kansas Statutes on ksrevisor.gov (Chapter 8 and K.S.A. 40-3104 and 40-3107, read 2026-11-10; the revisor's 2024-2026 composite lists of amended sections were checked) and the 2025 and 2026 session laws on kslegislature.gov; questions follow the statute. Out-of-date or inconsistent handbook statements and how they were handled: (1) test refusal (PDF pp. 14-15: 1, 2, 3 and 10 years for the first to fourth refusal and permanent revocation on a fifth) differs from K.S.A. 8-1014(a): every refusal is a one-year suspension followed by ignition interlock restriction of 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 years; questions use the statute (first refusal only); (2) move-over law (PDF pp. 18, 85) covers emergency, tow and work vehicles only; since July 1, 2025 K.S.A. 8-15,116 (2025 SB 8) also covers any stopped vehicle showing hazard lamps, flares, cones, caution signs or reflective triangles ($75 fine, K.S.A. 8-2118); questions use the statute; (3) phones (PDF p. 19: talking or dialing is not specifically illegal) is out of date since July 1, 2026: 2026 House Sub. for SB 366 bans hand-held phone use in a school zone while its reduced limit is enforced and in a road construction zone while workers are present and signs are posted (warnings only until July 1, 2027, then a $60 fine); questions use the bill (the revisor's online statute text did not yet show the new section on 2026-11-10, so the enrolled bill and the Legislative Research Department summary are the source); (4) the 15-year-old restricted license (PDF p. 13) allows driving directly to religious activities with no time limit, while K.S.A. 8-2,101(b)(1)(C) (as amended by L. 2022, ch. 68) limits this to 6 a.m.-9 p.m.; questions use the statute; (5) the default school zone limit of 20 mph 'when properly marked' (PDF p. 16) is not in K.S.A. 8-1558; K.S.A. 8-1560(a)(4) lets a local authority lower an urban school zone limit to no less than 20 mph for school travel hours, so school_zone_speed_mph is left open and no question states a statewide school zone limit; (6) PDF p. 27 says children under 14 must be secured in the rear seat and that only drivers and front-seat passengers must be belted; K.S.A. 8-1344 has no rear-seat requirement and K.S.A. 8-2503 covers every occupant 14 or older (adult back-seat violations are secondary); questions use the statutes, and the back-seat advice for children 12 and under (PDF p. 28) is used only as a safety recommendation; (7) the instruction permit section (PDF p. 12) cites K.S.A. 8-239, which now covers applicants 17 and older; permits for ages 14-16 are under K.S.A. 8-2,100, whose terms match the handbook; (8) following distance is inconsistent: two seconds in prime conditions and four in adverse conditions (PDF p. 17), two seconds plus one for bad conditions (PDF p. 62), but a minimum three-second interval on PDF p. 77, so following_seconds is left open and no question asks it; (9) lane-change gap: 4 to 5 seconds on PDF p. 58 but 4 to 6 seconds on PDF p. 64 and in the Section 7 quiz (PDF p. 72); the question uses 4 to 6 seconds; (10) high-beam dimming is given as 'about a one-block distance' (PDF p. 91); the questions and variables use K.S.A. 8-1725 (500 feet oncoming, 300 feet following); (11) the no-passing list (PDF p. 17) includes 'within 100 feet of an emergency vehicle stopped on the roadside', which was not found in K.S.A. 8-1516 to 8-1520 and is not tested; the handbook also omits the K.S.A. 8-1519(a)(2) exception for unmarked rural state or county highway intersections, which the variable note records; (12) the parking list (PDF p. 19, p. 54) omits the 20-foot limit near a crosswalk at an intersection in K.S.A. 8-1571(a)(2)(iii); questions use the statute; (13) headlights with wipers (PDF p. 67) are required by K.S.A. 8-1703(a)(3), but subsection (c) allows only warning citations; noted in the fact; (14) the bracketed AAMVA placeholder '[Fines for speeding in a work zone are doubled.]' (PDF p. 39) matches K.S.A. 8-2118(e), which doubles all moving-violation infraction fines in road construction zones; questions cite the statute. Studded tire dates (PDF pp. 59, 109) are set by KDOT regulation under K.S.A. 8-1742 and were not verified, so they are not tested. First DUI penalties (PDF p. 24) and the 30-day suspension for a test failure (PDF p. 23) match K.S.A. 8-1567 and 8-1014. edition) and from official sources on road signs. Every answer links to its source, so you can check it and read more.
