1. The requirements as to security and suspension in NRS 485.190 to 485.300 , inclusive, do not apply: (a) To the operator or owner if the operator or owner had in effect at the time of
the crash a motor vehicle liability policy with respect to the motor vehicle involved
in the crash; (b) To the operator if there was in effect at the time of the crash a motor vehicle
liability policy with respect to his or her operation of any motor vehicle; (c) To the operator or owner if the liability for damages of the operator or owner
resulting from the crash is, in the judgment of the Department, covered by any other
form of liability insurance policy or a bond; (d) To any person qualifying as a self-insurer pursuant to NRS 485.380 , or to any person operating a motor vehicle for the self-insured; (e) To the operator or the owner of a motor vehicle involved in a crash wherein no
injury or damage was caused to the person or property of anyone other than the operator
or owner; (f) To the operator or the owner of a motor vehicle legally parked at the time of
the crash; (g) To the owner of a motor vehicle if at the time of the crash the vehicle was being
operated without the owner's permission, express or implied, or was parked by a person
who had been operating the motor vehicle without permission; or (h) If, before the date that the Department would otherwise suspend the license and
registration or nonresident's operating privilege pursuant to NRS 485.190 , there is filed with the Department evidence satisfactory to it that the person who
would otherwise have to file security has been released from liability or has received
a determination in his or her favor at a hearing conducted pursuant to NRS 485.191 , or has been finally adjudicated not to be liable or has executed an acknowledged
written agreement providing for the payment of an agreed amount in installments, with
respect to all claims for injuries or damages resulting from the crash. 2. An owner who is not the operator of the motor vehicle is not exempt from the requirements
as to security and suspension in NRS 485.190 to 485.300 , inclusive, if the owner holds a motor vehicle liability policy which provides coverage
only when the owner is operating the motor vehicle and, at the time of the crash,
another person is operating the motor vehicle with the express or implied permission
of the owner.
