Until you turn 18, you are restricted from driving between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., unless for approved school or work activities.

Nevada instruction permits remain valid for one year. In case of expiration, you can renew it in person at a DMV office and a parent or guardian is required to sign another Financial Responsibility Statement.
