  1. 1. A Nevada minor generally may not operate a motor vehicle between:

    • 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., unless driving to or from a scheduled event (until age 18)
    • BMidnight and 6 a.m. with no exceptions
    • C9 p.m. and sunrise
    • D11 p.m. and 5 a.m.

    Answer: 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., unless driving to or from a scheduled event (until age 18). The Nevada Driver’s Handbook states a minor shall not operate a motor vehicle between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. unless he/she is driving to or from a scheduled event; this curfew remains in effect until the driver turns 18.

  2. 2. Nevada uses which BAC level as a primary guide for adult DUI?

    • 0.08%
    • B0.10%
    • C0.02%
    • D0.05%

    Answer: 0.08%. The Nevada Driver’s Handbook notes that even though an alcohol concentration of .08% is used as a guide, you can be arrested and convicted with a lower level; Nevada DMV traffic-law guidance also lists the standard adult limit as .08% BAC.

    • CSlow to 15 mph and pass carefully
    • Stop and not overtake or proceed past until the flashing red lights are turned off

    Answer: Stop and not overtake or proceed past until the flashing red lights are turned off. The Nevada Driver’s Handbook (NRS 484B.353) requires a driver to stop at any location for a school bus displaying a flashing red signal and not attempt to overtake or proceed past until the bus driver has turned off the flashing red lights.
