Nevada: Full Rule Record
Confirm with your court or DMV. Traffic-code rules change and vary by court — verify the current rule on Nevada’s official .gov page or with the court handling your citation before you act.

Nevada offers a point reduction mechanism that allows drivers to reduce their driving record points. Under this program, eligible drivers may reduce their record by three points once every twelve months through an approved defensive driving course or traffic safety program. The specific cost and required course hours vary by provider and court jurisdiction; these figures are not standardized statewide and are instead determined by individual approved providers and the courts overseeing the program. Drivers seeking to participate in point reduction should verify current requirements, costs, and course availability through Nevada's official state resources or their local court system.
