New Hampshire DUI Laws The New Hampshire Supreme Court issued an important decision on November 2, 2011 in the case of State v. Gardner. In this appeal of a New Hampshire DWI sentence from the Exeter District Court, the defendant tried to reduce his length of license revocation after his DWI conviction by six months after he enrolled into the relevant DWI Impaired Driver Intervention Program with 45 days pursuant to New Hampshire DWI law RSA 265:A:18 I (a)(4), The Exeter District Court denied the defendant's request, ruling that RSA 265:A:18 III prohibited any sentence reduction below 12 months for a driver convicted of DWI while under the age of 21. The defendant appealed and the New Hampshire Supreme Court affirmed the Exeter District Court's decision.
This means that the absolute minimum length of license loss for a driver under the age of 21 convicted of DWI in New Hampshire is one year. When reviewing this law, including the minimum and maximum penalties for a driver under 21 charged with DWI in New Hampshire, most people charged with this offense should consider going to trial on the charge.
