It depends on the specific circumstances. Under Nevada law (NRS 484B.165), texting and driving is unlawful. A first offense will result in a $50 fine. Beyond that, distracted drivers frequently commit specific traffic offenses that can be cited, including running red lights, failure to yield, and speeding. Even if the other driver did not receive a ticket, injured victims still have the right to hold them responsible for their negligence through a civil claim.
