Nevada DUI Laws
In Nevada, it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of
0.08 percent or higher. However, the BAC limit for commercial drivers
is .04 percent, while ht elimie for drivers who are under 21 years of
age is .02 percent.
The laws for driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) are found in the
Nevada Revised Statutes. Under the statute, a person can be charged with
DUID if they have a detectable level of certain types of drugs or their
metabolites in their system while operating a motor vehicle. This includes
illegal drugs, prescription and over-the-counter medications as well as
certain substances such as marijuana and alcohol.
What Penalties Might I Face for a DUI?
Other states have a right to a jury trial for a misdemeanor DUI. Nevada
only allows a jury trial in a
felony DUI case. If a prosecuting attorney believes he or she can prove a case, he
or she is obligated to move forward.
- Consequences of a Conviction can include:
- 2 days to 6 months in jail OR 48 - 96 hours of community service
- Nevada DUI school
- $400 to $1,000 fine + court costs
- Mandatory alcohol or drug abuse treatment program
- Breath interlock device in your car for 3 - 36 months
- 90-day suspension of your driver's license + $35 civil penalty fee
Nevada also has a zero tolerance policy for marijuana. A
drug DUI charge can be filed even if you have incredibly low limits of THC within
your system.
