Bill > SB37

This bill adds "road rage" as a specific traffic offense to existing Nevada law, defining road rage as an action by a vehicle driver or occupant in response to an incident on a public roadway that involves either committing an assault against another driver/occupant or deliberately operating a vehicle to intimidate, harass, frighten, alarm, or distress another driver/occupant. For the first offense, road rage is classified as a misdemeanor with potential penalties including a fine up to $1,000, up to 6 months in county jail, 50-99 hours of community service, and possible driver's license suspension and vehicle impoundment. For subsequent offenses, road rage becomes a gross misdemeanor with increased penalties, including higher fines (up to $1,500), more community service hours (100-199 hours), potential imprisonment up to 364 days, and longer potential license suspension and vehicle impoundment periods. The bill explicitly defines "assault" by referencing existing Nevada law and aims to create a specific legal mechanism to address aggressive and dangerous driving behaviors that go beyond traditional reckless driving statutes.
