Suppose you’re driving in Kansas. Suddenly, a police car with flashing lights approaches and the officer directs you to pull over. At this traffic stop, which documents must you provide to the officer upon request? Then the officer requests you to take a breath test for blood alcohol. What if you refuse?
These and other issues related to traffic offenses and driving privileges are addressed in this free Kansas Fines and Limits permit practice test. You’ll learn the limits on blood alcohol content (BAC), both for drivers under 21 years of age and drivers aged 21 or older, and the length of license suspension for exceeding your BAC limit for the first time or for a second time. You’ll learn how many moving violations on your driving record may cause your license to be suspended, which offenses can cause mandatory license suspension, and which offenses may result in license revocation (and one that won’t).
