What is the Demerit Point System?
Traffic law violations in Nevada are allocated by a point value. When the DMV receives a conviction notice from the courts, the conviction is applied to your driving record and the appropriate points are assigned. If you are convicted of a major traffic offense, such as DUI, your license will be revoked instead of demerit points being assigned due to the serious nature of such offenses. Your driving privilege can be suspended if you receive 12 points or more within a 12 month period.
