These come from questions learners find hardest. Each links to the page of the handbook it comes from.
When driver education is not available in person or online, Nevada doubles the practice requirement to 100 hours behind the wheel, with 10 hours in the dark. The extra hours stand in for the classroom training you are missing.
Nevada Official Driver Handbook (DMV 700), page 14The curfew lasts until your 18th birthday no matter when your license was issued. Do not confuse it with the passenger limit, which lasts only the first 6 months.
Nevada Official Driver Handbook (DMV 700), page 15A traffic safety course removes at most three demerit points, and you may use it only once in a 12-month period. The conviction itself remains part of your driving history.
Nevada Official Driver Handbook (DMV 700), page 77Drivers with between three and 11 points may remove three points by completing a DMV-approved traffic safety course. At 12 points the license is already suspended, so the course is meant as an early fix.
Nevada Official Driver Handbook (DMV 700), page 77Reckless driving carries 8 demerit points, the highest value on the handbook's list of violations. One more 4-point ticket within 12 months would bring you to the 12-point suspension level.
Nevada Official Driver Handbook (DMV 700), page 78Nevada assigns 2 demerit points for driving 11 to 20 mph over the posted limit. The points go up in steps as the speed over the limit grows, from 1 point up to 5.
Nevada Official Driver Handbook (DMV 700), page 78Through its NV LIVE program the DMV detects insurance lapses. You pay a reinstatement fee plus fines from $250 up to $1,750 per vehicle, and may also face an SR-22 filing or a 30-day license suspension.
