Reader’s Question:
I just obtained my valid MA Learners permit recently. My mother lives in Las Vegas Nevada and I am planning to visit her often. Can I drive using my MA learner’s Permit in Nevada? If so what are the restrictions for this?

Here are the driving restrictions for teens in the state of Nevada:
- Young drivers may not transport any person under the age of eighteen, except for immediate family members, for the first 6 months after the license was issued.
- Young Drivers under eighteen may not operate the vehicle between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. This applies to all motorists under the age of eighteen until they turn eighteen, regardless of when the license was issued.
- Nevada has a .02 blood alcohol limit for motorists under twenty one.
- Young driver licenses can be suspended for any of the same reasons as adult licenses and also for non-driving alcohol/drug offenses, habitual truancy or firearms violations.
So it seems like you can drive in the state of Nevada with your MA learner’s permit but with restrictions. I would suggest that you contact the Nevada DMV to find out for sure if all the restrictions and conditions you will have on you while in Nevada visiting your mother in Las Vegas Nevada.
