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 point reduction as a traffic violation remediation mechanism. Under this program, eligible drivers may reduce their driving record by three points once every twelve months. The reduction is applied to the driver's record upon successful completion of an approved traffic safety course.
The specific cost of the course and the number of hours required vary by provider and may differ based on the court or jurisdiction overseeing the case. Drivers should contact their local court or an approved course provider directly to obtain current pricing and course duration information. The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles maintains a list of approved providers on its official website, where authoritative details regarding course requirements and fees can be found.
