After drinking, a friend offers coffee and a cold shower so you can drive home sooner. What is the safe decision?
Correct answer: Arrange a sober ride; coffee and a shower do not remove the alcohol.
Only time allows the body to eliminate alcohol. Feeling more awake does not restore judgment, coordination or reaction time.

You know a friend’s ordinary car has no required insurance coverage or exemption. The friend permits you to borrow it. May you drive it on a public highway?
Correct answer: No; permission from the owner does not make knowingly driving an uninsured vehicle lawful.
Kansas prohibits both allowing operation of an uninsured vehicle and knowingly driving it, subject to the statute’s exemptions. Owner permission alone is not insurance.

For an ordinary Kansas auto liability policy, which set gives the statutory minimum bodily-injury-per-person, bodily-injury-per-accident and property-damage liability limits?
Correct answer: $25,000 / $50,000 / $25,000.
These are the minimum liability components in section 40-3107(e). They are not a statement that liability alone is the entire required Kansas policy or a recommendation to buy only minimum coverage.
