Traffic tickets in Nevada
Nevada handles traffic citations through municipal and justice courts and uses a demerit point system administered by the DMV. Traffic safety school is a common way to address an eligible ticket and reduce points.
License points
Nevada assigns demerit points for moving violation convictions, and accumulating points within a 12-month period can lead to a license suspension. Completing an approved course can remove a limited number of points. Check official DMV resources.
Ways to reduce or dismiss a ticket
- ✓Traffic safety school to remove demerit points on your record
- ✓Requesting a hearing or trial to contest the citation
- ✓Negotiating a plea in eligible cases
- ✓Driver improvement requirements after point thresholds
Deadlines
Respond by the deadline printed on your citation. Missing it can lead to added penalties and, in some cases, a warrant, so contact the court named on your ticket promptly if you need a hearing or more time.
