Assuming that you are asking about penalties for first time DUI offenders in Nevada that would include:
- Fine of $400 to $1,000;
- Jail time of 2 days to 6 months or community service for 96 hours;
- License suspension for 90 days;
- Must attend a DUI program;
- May be required to enroll in a alcohol treatment program if your BAC is .08 or more.
The court may also allow you to use your vehicle if you are given a restricted license. But that is only possible once half of your license suspension period is over.
To reinstate your license, you will be required to file for SR22 insurance. If I am not mistaken this needs to be maintained for 3 to 5 years from the conviction date, depending on the seriousness of your offense.
Shopping for SR22 insurance through the Internet can possibly help you find cheap SR22 insurance. You just need to carefully compare the SR22 insurance quotes that you can find. And the best advice I can give you is never drive if you are drunk.
