GRADUATED LICENSE COURSE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kentucky has Graduated Licensing laws in place to improve traffic safety and reduce traffic accidents, injuries, and fatalities by controlling a young driver\u2019s exposure and progressively moving the driver into more difficult driving experiences prior to full licensure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
