Attachment 3 (Added)

VEHICLE TRAFFIC CODE

A3.1. (Added) The purpose of the vehicle traffic code is to ensure that all personnel who operate a government owned vehicle (GOV) or privately owned vehicle (POV) are aware of the rules for operating vehicles on the confines of Nellis AFB. In addition, some Nevada state and Las Vegas city traffic codes are specified. Operators are responsible for obtaining further information regarding operating a vehicle off the confines of Nellis AFB.

A3.2. (Added) Policy. Driving on Nellis AFB is a privilege extended by the 99 ABW/CC.

Individuals given this privilege will meet the standards established in this supplement. This supplement applies to all persons operating a motor vehicle, bicycle or other human conveyance on Nellis AFB.

A3.3. (Added) Licensed Motor Vehicle Operators: Active duty military members may operate a motor vehicle with any valid U.S./international driver’s license, provided they meet all prerequisites for licensing in that state/country and the license is not suspended or revoked. All other personnel will be licensed IAW NRS Title 43, 483.010 to 483.630. An AF Form 2293, US

Air Force Motor Vehicle Operator Identification Card (computer-generated) is required to operate special purpose GOVs. TDY personnel will comply with the requirements of this supplement.

A3.4. (Added) Vehicles with expired vehicle registration will not enter, be operated on or parked on the installation. Burden of proof is on the owner and/or operator. If verified through NCJIS, the citation will be issued as a “fix it” ticket. Operators will have three (3) duty days to report to the BDOC and provide proof that their vehicle registration was valid and active at the time the citation was issued. Failure to do so will result in the citation being issued and (Non-moving, Expired Registration; two (2) points) processed as a non-moving violation with two (2) points being assessed.

A3.5. (Added) Vehicle Insurance: Members will maintain insurance coverage IAW NRS

485.185. Security Forces will cite operators of vehicles who cannot show proof of valid insurance.

Vehicle operators must carry proof of valid insurance on their person or in the vehicle at all times while on Nellis AFB, regardless of laws pertaining to their particular state of registration. The insurance card, in and of itself, is not proof of insurance if a motor vehicle check reveals otherwise

(e.g., suspended/cancelled). Burden of proof is on the operator. Citations may be “fix it” tickets unless a motor vehicle check reveals otherwise (e.g. suspended/cancelled). Operators will have three (3) duty days to report to BDOC and provide proof that their insurance was valid and active at the time the citation was issued. Failure to do so will result in a one (1)-year suspension of driving privileges. (Moving Violation, Driving Without Insurance; one (1) year suspension)

A3.6. (Added) Anyone who displays or possesses a vehicle registration card, license plate, driver’s license or vehicle insurance card knowing it to be fictitious or to have been stolen, canceled, revoked, suspended or altered shall lose base driving privileges for one (1) year. Active duty members may also face UCMJ action (Non-moving Violation, Failure to Obey, AFJIS generated).

A3.7. (Added) Operating an Unsafe Vehicle: Do not operate, cause or permit operation of a motor vehicle if the vehicle creates a safety hazard (Moving Violation, Operating Unsafe Vehicle;

two (2) points).

DAFI31-218_NELLISAFBSUP 23 MARCH 2022 21
