QuestionInsurance Question  I recently obtained a valid Massachusetts Learners permit. However, my dad lives in Nevada and I visit him often. Can I drive with a Massachusetts Permit in Nevada? If so do the same restrictions apply?

AnswerAuto Insurance Answer

According to the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles honors out-of-state instruction permits. If the permit is valid in your home state, you can drive in Nevada with a licensed driver 21 years or older seated next to you. Nevada also honors out of state driver licenses, but you must follow Nevada's restrictions.

Driving restrictions for teens in Nevada include:

Young drivers may not transport any passenger under the age of 18, except for immediate family members, for the first six months after the license was issued.

Drivers under 18 may not drive between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. This applies to all drivers under the age of 18 until they turn 18, regardless of when the license was issued.

Nevada has a .02 blood alcohol limit for drivers under 21. Drivers can also be arrested for any detectable amount of a controlled or prohibited substance.

Minor driver licenses can be suspended for any of the same reasons as adult licenses and also for non-driving alcohol/drug convictions, firearms violations or habitual truancy.

So it appears you can drive in Nevada with your Massachusetts learner's permit but with restrictions. We would advise you to contact the NV DMV to find out for certain all the conditions and restrictions you will have on you while in Nevada visiting your father.

Also make sure your father checks with his insurance company to make certain you are covered by his auto insurance when operating his vehicle with your MA permit.
