Kentucky, like most states has an out of state motorist statute. KRS188.030.

This statute allows a plaintiff to sue an out-of-state motorist in Kentucky and use service upon the Secretary of State as a substitute for personal service. However, an interesting question arises when the person you want to sue gives the police both an in-state as well as an out-of-state address. Normally, a plaintiff is allowed to rely the address that is shown on the police report as the address for each driver. However, if the police report shows both an in-state and and out-of-state address for a driver, the plaintiff may not simply use the out-of-state address and thereby avail themselves of the Secretary of State service thru KRS 188.030. See Begley v. Kilburn, 525 S.W. 2d 926 (Ky. 1976)
