I am not aware of that grade point average that someone has to carry in order to be able to have car insurance in KY. What I do know is that KY does have a form of the No Pass, No Drive law in Kentucky though that authorizes the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to have administration regulations regarding a young or minor driver licensing applicant.
This administration regulation, requires participating schools to inform the Transportation Cabinet if a minor is academically deficient or withdraws from school. Therefore as a 16 or 17 year old and you drop out of a participating school or deemed to be deficient academically, you will lose your driver’s license.
Can I Get Car Insurance in Kentucky With Out of State DUI?

If I received a DUI in California can I still obtain a driver’s license and auto insurance in Kentucky?

If you received a driving under the influence (DUI) conviction in California you might be able to obtain a driver’s license in Kentucky. Typically, a fist time DUI offense in CA has penalties such as jail time, vehicle impoundment, fines, license suspension for 6 months or more, and a completion of a DUI program.
If you have dealt with the penalties given to you for being convicted of the DUI in CA and have taken care of any licensing issues already regarding the DUI, then Kentucky would likely permit you to obtain a license.
According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Division of Driver Licensing, they check the NDR to determine if a motorist’s driving privilege is suspended in other state prior to a license being issued. If a motorist is suspended, a KY license will not be issued until that suspension is no longer in effect.
