Under the Illegal Per Se law, a chemical test showing 0.08% or more revokes your driving privilege. You can still be arrested and convicted below 0.08% if you are impaired.
You are 19. A chemical test shows a 0.03% alcohol concentration. What happens under Nevada law?
- A Only a fine, with no license action
- B You lose your driving privilege

- D You get a warning but keep your license
Show answer
B. You lose your driving privilege
If you are under 21 and test at 0.02% or more but less than 0.08%, your driving privilege is suspended. Under NRS 483.461 the suspension lasts 90 days; the handbook's 185-day figure is the revocation for 0.08% or more. It is an administrative penalty, and the officer can take your license on the spot.
A Nevada officer suspects you of DUI and you refuse the chemical test. If this is your first refusal, what happens?
- A Nothing, because the test is voluntary
- B You receive 6 demerit points
- C Your license is revoked and you cannot get one for one year
- D Your license is suspended for 30 days
Show answer
C. Your license is revoked and you cannot get one for one year
Under Nevada's Implied Consent Law, refusing a blood, breath or urine test revokes your privilege to drive, and you are not eligible for a license for one year on a first refusal. An officer may also direct that blood be drawn.
Your Nevada license was revoked for refusing a test 4 years ago, and you refuse again. How long are you ineligible for a license?

- B 185 days
- C Three years
- D One year
Show answer

If your privilege was revoked for refusing a test within the prior seven years, a new refusal makes you ineligible for three years. Refusing is never a way to avoid a DUI penalty.
