What are the Nebraska State Driving Laws?
Answer:
The state of Nebraska uses a points system to
track dangerous drivers. Each traffic violation is assigned a certain number of points. Some common violations and the points they are assigned are:

·                    DUI – 6 points
·                    Reckless driving – 5 points
·                    Careless driving – 4 points
·                    Speeding – 1 – 3 points
·                    Child Restraint Law violation – 1 point

Anyone who earns 12 points in two years will lose his license for 6 months.

Under Nebraska’s Occupant Protection Law, all drivers and passengers in the front seat of a vehicle must be buckled up. Additionally, all children up to age six must be in a child safety seat. Children from 6 to 18 must have their seatbelts fastened, even if they are in the rear of the vehicle. The fine for violating this law is $25, and if a child is involved a point will be added to the driver’s record. All individuals who are on a motorcycle must be wearing a helmet.

Drivers must yield the right of way to emergency vehicles that has sirens on or lights flashing. If possible, the driver must pull to the right hand side of the road and stop. However, if there is a median between the driver and the emergency vehicle, the driver does not have to stop.

Drivers must also follow the posted speed limits at all times. On rural interstates, drivers can travel at 75 mph. Expressways have a speed limit of 65 mph. State highways have a speed limit of 60 mph. The speed limit on county roads is 55 mph, unless they are not paved, then it is 50 mph. Residential districts have a speed limit of 25 mph. The fine for speeding ranges between $10 and $400, depending on the conditions. There is no law regulating the use of cell phones in Nebraska.
