KS DMV KS DMV Safe Driving Practices 3

Question 1

In Kansas, what is the correct response when your brakes suddenly fail while driving?

Accepted Answer

Pump the brakes, downshift, and use the parking brake gradually

Answer

Pumping the pedal may restore hydraulic pressure, downshifting slows the engine, and the parking brake provides mechanical stopping force.

Question 2

How far in advance should you signal before turning or changing lanes in Kansas?

Accepted Answer

At least 100 feet before the turn or lane change

Answer

Kansas law requires turn signals to be activated at least 100 feet before turning on city streets, and more distance is recommended on highways.

Question 3

In Kansas, what should you do if you experience a sudden brake pedal that goes to the floor?

Accepted Answer

Pump the brakes rapidly to try to build pressure

Answer

Rapidly pumping the brakes can help restore hydraulic pressure in some brake systems, buying time to slow the vehicle safely.

Question 4

What is the purpose of the 'Move Over' law in Kansas?

Accepted Answer

Require drivers to change lanes or slow when passing stopped emergency or service vehicles

Answer

Kansas Move Over law requires drivers to move to a non-adjacent lane or reduce speed when passing stopped emergency, utility, or service vehicles with lights activated.

Question 5

When driving at night in Kansas, how should you adjust your speed?

Accepted Answer

Drive at a speed where you can stop within your headlight range

Answer

You should always be able to stop within the distance illuminated by your headlights — exceeding that creates a 'driving blind' condition.
