How to report a bad driver in Nevada

If it is happening now

Call 911. A driver who is an active danger to other people is a police matter, and no app is a substitute for that call. Do not follow the vehicle, and do not try to get closer to read the plate.

After the fact

Your local police department’s non-emergency line takes reports of dangerous driving that has already happened. What each agency will act on varies, and a report generally needs the plate, the location, the time, and what you saw.

The licensing agency in Nevada

Who may file, and what it takes

• The DMV accepts a request for re-examination from family members, law enforcement officers, state agencies and other facilities (NRS 483.363). DMV representatives may also initiate inquiries on their own.
• The Request for Re-Evaluation (DLD 23a) is accepted from a driver's SPOUSE OR CLOSE BLOOD RELATIVE — parent, sibling, grandchild — who reasonably and in good faith believes the driver cannot drive safely.
• The form must be accompanied by an affidavit from a physician agreeing that the driver should be re-examined to determine whether they can safely operate a motor vehicle. Without that affidavit the request is incomplete — this is the hardest gate of any state's citizen route.
• You identify the driver by name, address, date of birth and licence number, say what brought their difficulties to your attention, and describe the nature of the impairment and how it affects their driving, with dates and any witnesses.
• You certify that the statements are true and correct, and acknowledge the terms that apply if an administrative hearing is held on the strength of your request. The signature must be witnessed — a DMV representative will do it at no charge.
• Law enforcement officers and state agency representatives use a separate Request for Re-Examination.

What the agency can do

• The DMV gives the driver at least five days' notice to submit to a medical examination to determine fitness to drive, with or without restrictions.
• Failure to answer or to submit to the examination may result in suspension or revocation; the driver may request reinstatement on completing DMV requirements.
• A DMV representative with good cause to believe a driver is incapacitated can order a Confidential Physician's Report (DLD-7).
• The driver may appeal a suspension or revocation at an administrative hearing.

Nevada is one of 18 of 51 US jurisdictions where a witness unrelated to the driver has no confirmed way to report them to the licensing agency. That gap is the reason Jerk Alert exists.

Reporting it on Jerk Alert

Filing on Jerk Alert takes about ten seconds and does not replace contacting the authorities. Pick the plate and state, choose the location from the list, tap one of 25 categories, and set a severity from 1 to 5. There is nothing to type, so a report is a fact pattern rather than an account.

If you are in immediate danger, call 911. Jerk Alert is a record, not an emergency service, and the Terms prohibit following, approaching, or identifying another driver.

What an Erk Score means

An Erk Score is a plate’s running rating from 0.0 to 5.0, computed from the reports filed against it and weighted by whether the reporter is verified. Endorsements from other drivers are counted on the report itself and do not change the score. Deleted and hidden reports are excluded, so a score only reflects reports currently standing.

A plate with no reports has no score.
