Full research notes, including what could not be confirmed

Kansas Driving Handbook (KDOR, ksrevenue.gov/pdf/dlhb.pdf, handbook dated Feb 2022), researched and last verified 2026-08-19. Exam format is fully confirmed by the handbook, not an estimate: a unified 25-question knowledge test needing 80% (20 correct) to pass, with signs and rules drawn from one combined pool rather than a separate sign-recognition gate — hence signCount: 0 in the mock config, matching the unified format used by states like TX/PA/NY. Kansas does not use a numeric point/demerit system; the 'points' category in this module models the real conviction-count and offense-type system (suspension vs. revocation triggers) that Kansas actually uses instead of a point table — labeled 'License Actions' rather than 'Points' for accuracy. Known gaps deliberately excluded, per the handbook's own limits: no statutory mph/definition threshold is quoted for reckless driving (only that it is a revocation ground); no left-turn-on-red rule is stated (not addressed in the handbook); no specific numeric bicycle-passing distance (e.g. '3 feet') is asserted, as this was not found in the handbook text. Re-verify periodically, as KDOR handbook content, fees, and thresholds change over time.
