First aid — Kentucky Permit Test
First aid on the Kentucky permit test — 5 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules

Kentucky law requires the operator of any vehicle involved in a collision to immediately stop, find out the extent of any injury or damage, and render reasonable assistance.
The duty starts the moment the car stops, before anyone else arrives.
Remember, Kentucky law requires the operator of any vehicle involved in a collision to immediately stop and ascertain the extent of any injury or damage and render reasonable assistance.
Kentucky reasonable assistance may include carrying, or arranging to carry, an injured person for medical treatment if it is apparently necessary or is requested.
The law says what reasonable assistance means, so it is not left to the driver's judgment alone.
Reasonable assistance may include carrying, or making of arrangements for the carrying, of the injured person to receive medical treatment if it is apparent that such treatment is necessary, or if transportation is requested by the injured person.
A Kentucky driver should keep a collision victim warm by covering them with a blanket or coat if necessary.

On the test
When does Kentucky say to remove someone from a collision?
Only in a life-threatening emergency. Moving someone with a spinal injury can do more harm than the crash did. Kentucky Driver Manual, p.57: “Only in life-threatening emergencies should you attempt to remove an individual from a collision.”
How this works
Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.
You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.
Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
