Nebraska Driving Laws
Know the Rules Before You Drive
Nebraska enforces strict distracted driving and DUI penalties. Here is what every Nebraska driver needs to know.
Important: What This Course Can — and Cannot — Do For You
Nebraska offers both ticket dismissal (with court permission) and a 2-point reduction for drivers who complete a DMV-approved course. Whether this course qualifies for each benefit depends on your specific court and current DMV approval status.
For the most reliable benefit available to all Nebraska drivers, this course qualifies you to request an auto insurance discount from your carrier. Contact us or your court clerk to verify ticket dismissal and point-reduction eligibility before enrolling for those purposes.
Nebraska Points System
12 points in any 2-year period = automatic license revocation. Points stay 5 years. Key values: DUI (1st/2nd) = 6 pts, reckless driving = 5-6 pts, careless driving = 4 pts, texting while driving = 3 pts, speeding 6-10 mph over in a city = 2 pts.
12 pts in 2 years = revocationSpeed Limits
Maximum 75 mph on Nebraska interstates and rural expressways. Divided state highways: 65 mph. Undivided state highways: 60 mph. Business and residential districts: 25 mph. Speeding 1-5 mph over carries no points in most zones (since Nov. 2020), but fines still apply.

Nebraska's DUI threshold is 0.08% BAC. A BAC of 0.15% or higher triggers enhanced mandatory penalties. Drivers under 21 face zero-tolerance law at 0.02% BAC. First-offense DUI: 7-60 days jail and 6-month license revocation.
0.08% BAC — 0.02% under 21Distracted Driving

What Nebraska Drivers Say
"I called my court clerk before enrolling and they confirmed they'd accept the certificate. Got my ticket dismissed and paid nothing in fines. The whole process was so easy — I finished the course in one afternoon."
Tyler W.
Omaha, Nebraska
"My State Farm agent told me I'd get 10% off my premium for completing a defensive driving course. I enrolled that evening, finished by the next morning, and sent in the certificate. Saved over $120 a year — way more than the $20 course cost."
Jessica M.
Lincoln, Nebraska
"I was skeptical it would actually work, but it did. Grand Island court accepted the certificate and my ticket was dismissed — no fine, no points, nothing on my record. The course itself was well-made and I actually learned a few things."
