In the State of Nevada, being convicted of disobeying a traffic signal or stop sign in Las Vegas is worth 4 demerit points on your driver’s license. Driving without car insurance does not give you demerit points but does come with grave penalties.
Las Vegas, Nevada mandates that all registered automobiles must have minimum liability insurance coverage of 15/30/10. Should the car insurance coverage lapse while registration is still current, the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles may suspend the vehicle registration and charge a $250 reinstatement fee.
If you have your license suspended because of your recent violations, or total demerit points on your driving record, you may be required to file a SR-22 with the DMV to recover your driving privileges. When you are required to file an SR22, Proof of Financial Responsibility, the period of required coverage begins when you reinstate your driver’s license. In the State of Nevada there is no time limit or statute of limitation on SR-22 insurance requirements. If you do not keep the coverage continuously during the required period, your license will be suspended. To find out what your total penalties will be for your tickets, contact the Court or entity listed on your traffic citation.
