Passing target: 80% (20/25)
You stop at a store on a hot afternoon. Your 6-year-old son is asleep in his car seat, and you want to leave the engine running so that the air conditioning stays on while you go inside. Under Nevada law, when may you leave him in the car?
Correct answer: Only if a person at least 12 years old stays with him and keeps him in sight.
Why
A closed car can get dangerously hot in the Nevada sun, and the law treats a running engine or keys in the ignition as a risk by itself, even when the car is cool. The safest choice is to take the child with you, even for a short errand. Nevada law also forbids leaving a pet in a parked car when heat or cold puts the pet at risk, and officers and firefighters may use reasonable means to rescue a child or a pet. These violations are misdemeanors.
