ALike most states, Nevada has passed cell phone laws to try to decrease the number of distracted drivers on the roads. Nevada law prohibits motor vehicle drivers from texting while driving. Under Nevada Revised Statute, Section 484B.165, it is illegal to communicate using a handheld electronic device while driving.
The cell phone law includes texting, accessing the internet and making calls using a handheld device. Any prohibited cell phone use while driving can result in a fine of $50 for a first offense, $100 for a second offense, and $250 for a third or subsequent offense within seven years. Offenses involving cell phones while driving are class 1 misdemeanors in Nevada.
