You plan to keep a Nevada car registered but let liability insurance lapse for a week while it is parked. Is there an automatic grace period?
Correct answer: No; maintain required coverage or properly cancel registration before dropping it.
Nevada has no liability-insurance grace period for an active registration. Nonuse alone does not cancel the registration.

A crash in a public parking lot causes apparent damage of $1,000 to one vehicle, no injuries, and is not investigated by police. What must the capable driver do?
Correct answer: Submit the required crash report to the DMV within 10 days.
A crash on premises open to the public qualifies when apparent damage to any vehicle or item of property is $750 or more, or there is injury or death. This uninvestigated crash requires a report within 10 days.

A crash injures someone and no police officer is present. After giving required assistance and information as far as possible, what must the driver do?
Correct answer: Promptly report it to the nearest police authority or Nevada Highway Patrol.
Prompt police reporting is separate from the later DMV report deadline. Injury is not dependent on a property-damage threshold.

After a property-damage-only crash, your operable car obstructs a traffic lane and can be moved safely. What should you do?
Correct answer: Stop, then move to a safe location out of the traffic lanes and fulfill the crash duties.
Safely moving the obstructing vehicle is required in this situation. Moving it does not remove the information and reporting duties.

You damage an unattended parked car in a public parking lot and cannot find its owner. What must you do before leaving?
Correct answer: Securely leave a conspicuous written notice with the required driver and owner names and addresses.
Stop and locate and notify the owner or leave the prescribed identifying notice. Small damage does not remove the duty.

An officer has stopped your car at night. What should you do while awaiting instructions?
Correct answer: Stay inside, keep your hands visible, turn on the interior light, and wait before reaching for documents.
Visible hands and predictable movements help the officer assess the situation. Follow instructions and retrieve documents when requested.

An adult passenger has a usable seat belt in the rear of an ordinary passenger car and no exemption applies. Does sitting in the rear make belt use optional?
Correct answer: No; the adult passenger must be properly secured by the belt.
The ordinary adult seat-belt requirement is not limited to the front seat. Rear seating, low speed and the driver's belt do not replace the passenger's restraint.

You are very tired before a nighttime trip through road construction. What is the safer choice?

Reduced nighttime visibility and construction hazards demand alertness. The handbook warns against driving tired.
