Full research notes, including what could not be confirmed

Kentucky Revised Statutes (statutory text via the Kentucky General Assembly's official codified statutes, legislature.ky.gov): KRS 189.330 (uncontrolled-intersection right-of-way), KRS 189.338 (turns on red, incl. the one-way-to-one-way left-on-red allowance and flashing-signal rules), KRS 189.390 (speed limits, eff. July 2022) and KRS 189.394 (school-area/work-zone doubled fines), KRS 189.290 (reckless driving), KRS 189.125 (seatbelt and child-restraint requirements), KRS 189A.010 (DUI BAC and penalties), KRS 189.292 and 189.294 (adult text-only vs. minor total-device phone bans), KRS 189.930/189.960 (Move Over law), KRS 189.030 (headlight requirements), KRS 186.450 and 186.452 (GDL: instruction permit and intermediate license, both amended 2025), KRS 189.450 and 189.459 (parking and accessible parking), KRS 189.370 (school/church bus stop-arm law, amended 2026) — plus the official Kentucky State Police Driver's Manual (kentuckystatepolice.org, the agency that authors and administers the manual per its own title page byline "Kentucky State Police"; driver testing/licensing services are additionally administered by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet at drive.ky.gov), updated 7/23/2026 edition. Researched and verified 2026-08-19, source-domain citation gap closed 2026-08-20. Exam format: the manual confirms an 80% passing score ("Applicants must make a minimum score of 80% to pass this test"), which this module uses directly (rulePassPct: 0.8) — re-confirmed verbatim against the manual's Testing Requirements/Preparation section this session. No official question count is published anywhere in the manual's written-test section (re-checked this session); this module uses 40 questions (ruleCount: 40), a third-party-sourced estimate carried at medium confidence rather than an officially confirmed figure — unified knowledge test, no separate sign-recognition gate (signCount: 0), consistent with KSP's own testing format. Known gaps deliberately NOT invented, per the research brief: the specific dollar fine for a seatbelt violation; any red-arrow-signal rule (not separately addressed in KRS 189.338); per-violation point values for specific offenses (e.g., how many points a speeding ticket carries); and any rear-facing-until-age-X requirement (Kentucky's child-restraint law is height-triggered, not age-triggered, and no separate rear-facing age rule exists in the statute). Re-verify periodically, as KRS provisions, fees, and the KSP manual are amended over time.
