§ 483.480. Department may require examination before suspension or revocation of license; no additional fee or examination for reinstatement under certain circumstances
1. The Department, having good cause to believe that a licensed driver is incompetent
or otherwise not qualified to be licensed, may upon written notice of at least 5 days
to the licensee require the licensee to submit to an examination. Upon the conclusion of the examination, the Department shall take action as may
be appropriate and may suspend or revoke the license of the person or permit the person
to retain the license, or may issue a license subject to restrictions as permitted
under NRS 483.360 or restrictions as to the type or class of vehicles that may be driven. Refusal or neglect of the licensee to submit to the examination is grounds for suspension
or revocation of the license. 2. Except for the suspension of a driver's license pursuant to subsection 3 of NRS 483.465 , the Department shall not charge an additional fee or require an additional examination
for the reinstatement of a revoked or suspended license if the additional fee or examination
arises out of the same offense for which the license was previously revoked or suspended
and the driver has previously reinstated the license after that offense.
