3. What following intervals does the Kansas driving handbook give for prime and for adverse conditions?
Correct answer: Two seconds normally and four seconds when conditions are poor

4. What does Kansas law prohibit doing with an electronic device while driving?
Correct answer: Writing, sending, or reading a written message
Texting and email are covered; GPS and weather information are not, and talking or dialing is not specifically outlawed, though any distraction remains dangerous.

5. Which two examinations must you pass to earn a Kansas motorcycle license?
Correct answer: A knowledge examination plus a skill test taken on the motorcycle
The skill test may be given in real traffic or in a controlled off-street area, and the knowledge questions draw on the material in the manual.

6. What does the Kansas basic speed law require of a driver or rider?
Correct answer: Never going faster than is reasonable and prudent for the conditions at the time
Road surface, weather, the vehicle, and your own condition all bear on what speed is reasonable, and what is safe at one moment may not be at another.

7. When properly marked, what maximum speed applies in a Kansas school zone or business district?
Correct answer: 20 mph
Where the markings are in place, 20 mph is the limit unless a different one is posted.

8. Where does Kansas law forbid making a U-turn?
Correct answer: On a curve, near a hilltop, or anywhere other drivers cannot see you from 500 feet away
Local ordinances and posted regulatory signs can restrict these turns further still.

9. Under the Kansas statutes reprinted in the motorcycle handbook, what is an autocycle?
Correct answer: A three-wheel motorcycle with a steering wheel and seating you do not straddle
Kansas counts the autocycle as a motorcycle by definition, but operating one does not call for a motorcycle license.

10. What is the highest speed limit Kansas sets, and where may it apply?
Correct answer: 75 mph, on separated multilane highways designated and posted for it
Only separated multilane highways that the Secretary of Transportation designates and posts may carry that limit.

11. What happens if you take the Kansas class M driving examination on a three-wheeled motorcycle that is not an autocycle?
Correct answer: Your license carries a restriction limiting you to registered three-wheeled motorcycles
Testing on a two-wheeled machine, by contrast, lets you operate either a registered two-wheeled or a registered three-wheeled motorcycle.

12. What does Kansas law say about driving unusually slowly?
Correct answer: Driving so slowly that you hold up or block the normal flow of traffic is unlawful
Where a minimum speed is posted, anything below it is unlawful in normal conditions; even with no posted minimum, blocking traffic flow is prohibited unless slower speed is needed for safety.
