Nevada Driver Handbook - October 2007
NEVADA DRIVERS HANDBOOK
DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES
555 Wright Way
Carson City, Nevada 89711-0400
This handbook has been written in an informal style for easy reading. As you read, you will
find information on the knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes you need to drive safely.
You will also find general licensing requirements, some basic traffic laws, explanations of
signs and signals, material on driving under the influence and defensive driving tips. The
knowledge test for your Nevada license is based on the information in this manual.
However, this handbook does not give the exact wording of traffic laws and it does not
discuss all of them. For specific laws, please refer to the Nevada Revised Statutes. NRS copies
are available in the public libraries.
