Transferring a driver's license in L'ville, KY. (Louisville: rental, transferring to)

[virgo]

Do you have to take the written exam for Louisville if you're coming from another state and want to transfer your license? One of the other boards I read occasionally talks about the driving laws and the driver's test that they have to take, and one person recently failed the test because he/she did not know "the percentage of driving fatilities caused by drunk drivers in that state." Mercy!

Is transferring a driver's license in L'ville very involved? Do you have to take the written and driving portions again?

Many thanks!

and compared with Maryland, the Kentucky drivers are much nicer. However, once there is a traffic accident, it is not that efficient.
