Uses a point system
Nevada
The Nevada DMV assigns demerit points for traffic convictions reported by the courts, and 12 or more points within 12 months results in a license suspension.
Other consequences
The DMV suspends a license for 1 year, with no restricted license, for six traffic offenses or civil infractions within 5 years if each was assigned 4 or more demerit points.
Other consequences
Serious violations such as DUI or causing serious injury or death do not use the point system; they lead to suspension or revocation directly.
How long points count
Demerit points expire 12 months after the conviction date, but the conviction stays on the permanent driving record.
Point reduction or driver improvement
A driver with 3 to 11 points can have 3 points removed by voluntarily completing a DMV-approved traffic safety course, once every 12 months. No credit is given if the course was required by a plea bargain or court order, or if 12 points are reached before the course is done.

What this page does not do
- It does not read your driving record. Only Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles can confirm your current total.
- It does not predict a suspension: levels count only convictions inside each window, and the agency decides.
- It does not cover commercial (CDL) disqualifications or DUI suspensions, which follow separate rules.
