- A Up to 3 points
- B All 7 of your points
- C Up to 2 points
- D Up to 5 points
Show answer
A. Up to 3 points
A 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.
In Nevada, you can take traffic school to remove points only when your record has how many points?
- A Between 3 and 11 points
- B Between 6 and 11 points
- C Exactly 12 points or more
- D Between 1 and 12 points
Show answer
A. Between 3 and 11 points
Drivers 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.
How many demerit points does Nevada assign for a reckless driving conviction?

Reckless 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.
