Before you attempt to get a driver's license, you'll want to pick up a copy of the Driver Handbook published by the DDL. This manual will teach you about rules of the road in Kentucky, and it will also tell you how to apply for your first driver's license. Statistically, teen drivers are involved in a high percentage of car accidents. Because of that, first-time drivers should get all the practice they can before they get behind the wheel. Driver education and training can help make you a safer driver―and make the roads of Kentucky safer for all. You must be 16 years old to get a permit, and you must also present your birth certificate, Social Security card, and a parent or legal guardian if you're under the age of 18. KY instruction permits cost $12. Those folks who are under the age of 21 and hold a Kentucky instruction permit must keep it for 180 days before they can apply for their driver's license. You'll also be allowed to drive only when accompanied by an adult 21 years of age or older; the adult must be sitting in the front passenger seat at all times. Those who are under 18 must participate in the Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program. This means a few more restrictions: * Allowed driving hours are 6 a.m. to midnight only, unless you're able to show proof of emergency or other activities related to school or work. * You must practice driving for 60 hours, 10 of which should be at night. You'll need to log your hours and have them certified by your parent or guardian. * You're not allowed to drive with more than one passenger under the age of 20, unless they are direct family members.
