The Kentucky state law reads that "...the operator of a vehicle may overtake and pass upon the right of another vehicle only under the following conditions: when the vehicle overtaken is making or about to make a left turn; upon a roadway with an unobstructed pavement of sufficient width for 2 or more lines of vehicles moving lawfully in the direction being traveled by the overtaking vehicle. The operator of a vehicle may overtake and pass another vehicle upon the right only under conditions permitting such movements in safety. Such movement shall not be made by driving off the roadway unless passing vehicle comes to a complete stop and such movement may be made safely."The Kentucky State Police are asking that all drivers make a more concerted effort to adhere not only to this law but to the proper practices of safe driving; slowing at intersections, coming to a complete stop, signaling early and every time a direction change is made, keeping an appropriate and safe following distance, buckling up and traveling at safe speeds. Story courtesy TFC William Gregory, Public Affairs Officer, Kentucky State Police Post 15, 1118 Jamestown ST, (at Exit 49, Louie B. Nunn Parkway), Columbia, KY.

Cat found near Country Club in Columbia, KY There was a young female cat, not a kitten, found last night, December 28, 2009, in the subdivision by the country club. She is a very gentle, cat that likes to be held. She uses the litter box, so we think that she is looking for her parents. She also doesn't mind other cats, but our cat really likes being the only cat at our house. If you have a young female cat missing, please call (270) 634-1972. 2009-12-29 10:03:30 | Comments | Printable version
