Car Insurance Question  If I get a ticket in Nevada for running a red light and having no insurance, will I have to get SR22?

In Nevada, being convicted of disobeying a traffic signal or stop sign is worth 4 demerit points on your driver's license. Driving without insurance does not give you demerit points but does come with penalties.

Nevada mandates that all registered vehicles have minimum liability insurance coverage of 15/30/10. Should the insurance coverage lapse while registration is still current, the NV Department of Motor Vehicles may suspend the vehicle registration and charge a $250 reinstatement fee.

If because of your recent violations, or total demerit points on your driving record, you have your license suspended you may be required to file a SR-22 with the DMV to regain your driving privileges. When you are required to file a SR22, Proof of Financial Responsibility, the period of required coverage begins when you reinstate your license.

In Nevada there is no time limit or statute of limitation on SR-22 insurance requirements. If you do not maintain coverage continuously during the required period, your license will be suspended. To find out what your total penalties will be for your tickets will be, contact the court or entity listed on your citation.
