1. What does Nevada's cell phone law actually allow while driving?
Why: Handheld cellular voice calls require a hands-free accessory; using a handheld device to text, browse, or send non-voice communication is prohibited outright, except to report an emergency when stopping would be unsafe.
2. What are Nevada's occupancy rules for using an HOV lane?
Why: Nevada's HOV lanes require at least 2 people per vehicle (a baby counts as a person) during posted hours; motorcycles are always eligible to use an HOV lane regardless of occupancy.
3. What must a Nevada driver do when approaching a stopped emergency, utility, or service vehicle with no officer directing traffic?
Why: Approaching a stopped emergency, utility, or service vehicle, a Nevada driver must slow below the posted speed limit, proceed with caution, and move into a non-adjacent lane if it can be done safely -- moving over isn't mandatory if conditions make it unsafe.
4. What must a Nevada driver do at an intersection when an emergency vehicle is approaching with its siren or lights on?
Why: An approaching driver must yield the right-of-way to an emergency vehicle at an intersection, pull to the right edge of the road clear of the intersection, and stop until the emergency vehicle has passed.
