1. Any operator or owner of a motor vehicle who was involved in a crash and who is not exempt from the requirements of depositing security by the provisions of NRS 485.200, is entitled to a hearing before the Director or a representative of the Director before a determination of the amount of security required pursuant to NRS 485.190, and before the suspension of his or her operator’s license or registration as provided in subsection 2 of NRS 485.190. The hearing must be held in the county of residence of the operator. If the operator and owner reside in different counties and the hearing would involve both of them, the hearing must be held in the county which will be the most convenient for the summoning of witnesses.
2. The owner or operator must be given at least 30 days’ notice of the hearing in writing with a brief explanation of the proceedings to be taken against the owner or operator and the possible consequences of a determination adverse to the owner or operator.
3. If the operator or owner desires a hearing, the owner or operator shall, within 15 days, notify the Department in writing of such intention. If the owner or operator does not send this notice within the 15 days, he or she waives his or her right to a hearing, except that, the Director may for good cause shown permit the owner a later opportunity for a hearing.
