Arrested for DUI in Nevada? Your notice sets the date.
Request a hearing from the DMV Office of Administrative Hearings before you reinstate with an interlock.
The two clocks: court and DMV
Your Nevada DUI arrest opened a criminal case and a separate license case with the DMV. If that date passes, your license can be suspended before you ever see a judge.
Nevada's DMV revokes for a minimum of 185 days. Once you reinstate with an interlock you lose the right to a hearing. (DMV rule)
A first offense in Nevada
| What | The rule |
|---|---|
| Fine | $400 to $1,000 |
| Jail | 2 days to 6 months, or 48 to 96 hours of community service |
| License (DMV) | minimum 185 days revocation |
| High BAC | treatment program at 0.16 or more |
The judge picks a number inside each range. So ask where cases like yours land in Nevada (Nevada penalty rules).
Second and later offenses
A prior raises the penalty in every state, and Nevada is no exception. Tell the lawyer about any earlier case on the first call. Second offense DUI rules lists the states with published ranges.
Add-on fines and the newest change
Interlock orders and add-on fines in Nevada depend on the charge and the BAC. Ask the lawyer which ones apply to yours.
Newest change in Nevada. Nevada's AB 4 raised the top prison term for a DUI that kills someone from 20 years to 25. (8 News Now on AB 4)
