In accordance with Kentucky driving law, if the Cabinet suspends the driving privilege of a person more than one (1) time, the suspension times shall run consecutively.


After a hearing, under Kentucky driving law the department may require the driver to be placed on "probation" in lieu of suspension and attend a driver improvement clinic (State Traffic School) approved by the Transportation Cabinet.


Under Kentucky driving law, once a driver has been placed on "probation" by the Cabinet, he shall not be considered for probation again until a lapse of two (2) years from the ending date of any previous probation period granted, whether served or not.
