New Hampshire Cinderella License.Many questions arise about New Hampshire's new "limited driving privilege" law. This law took effect on January 1, 2016. Unlike states that have "Cinderella licenses", (usually a 12 hour period of the day in which drivers in those states that issue Cinderella licenses can drive until license reinstatement), New Hampshire law is more restrictive. A New Hampshire driver cannot be granted the "limited driving privileges" until her right to drive is already suspended for 45 consecutive days, then the driver must jump through substantial hoops, including the installation of an "alcohol ignition interlock ("IID") device in her car before the very limited driving privilege can be approved by the New Hampshire DMV.
Below is the text of the law:
263:57-b Limited Driving Privilege After Revocation or Suspension. – I. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, if a person is convicted of a first offense under RSA 265-A:2, I, not including any conviction involving driving a commercial motor vehicle, he or she may petition the court for a restoration of his or her operator's license with limited driving privileges. To qualify for consideration, the person shall submit proof of financial responsibility in accordance with RSA 265-A:28 and an application that demonstrates the need for the license. Satisfactory evidence of at least one of the following must be presented, including satisfactory proof from the employer, program, medical treatment facility, state-approved educational institution, or other destination: (a) That the person must operate a motor vehicle as a requisite of the person's occupation or employment. (b) That the person must operate a motor vehicle to seek employment or to get to and from a place of employment. (c) That the person must operate a motor vehicle to get to or from an alcohol or drug treatment or rehabilitation program. (d) That the person or a member of the person's immediate family requires medical treatment on a regular basis and the person must operate a motor vehicle in order that the treatment may be obtained. (e) That the person must operate a motor vehicle to continue his or her education. (f) That the person must operate a motor vehicle to attend job training. II. A license restored under this section shall limit the person's driving privileges: (a) To the times, places, and days determined to be necessary for the person to seek or retain employment, to attend any alcohol or drug treatment or rehabilitation program, to continue his or her education, to attend job training, or to obtain required medical treatment for the person or a member of the person's immediate family. (b) To times, places, and days that are specifically stated. (c) To vehicles equipped with enhanced technology ignition interlock devices. III. A license restored under this section shall not be effective until the person's license has been suspended or revoked, either pursuant to criminal penalty or administrative suspension, for at least 45 days and shall expire on the date specified by the court. IV. A violation of this section or the terms of the license restored under this section shall be considered a violation of RSA 263:64 and the license shall be revoked. V. A person granted a limited privilege license under this section shall deliver a copy of the court order granting the limited privilege license to the law enforcement agency in the city or town in which he or she resides. When operating a motor vehicle, a person granted a limited privilege license under this section shall have a copy of the court order granting the limited privilege license upon his or her person or in some easily accessible place within the vehicle.
If you have been convicted of a first offense DWI in New Hampshire and are contemplating petitioning for a limited driving privilege, please free to call me right away at 1-603-893-0074 if you would like to discuss this. Careful consideration should be made on a case by case basis as to whether the application and obtainment of one of these "privileges" is worth it for you.

New Hampshire Drug Laws . Most people in New Hampshire know that marijuana is still illegal. It's crazy but true. If you're stopped by the police, and you've got a stem or some resin in a pipe in your car, you will likely be arrested and charged with the crime of "Possession of Drugs" under New Hampshire's Motor Vehicle Code RSA 265-A:43. That law reads like this:
TITLE XXI Motor Vehicles CHAPTER 265 Rules of the Road - Serious Traffic Offenses RSA 265-A:43 Possession of Drugs (2013)
265-A:43 Possession of Drugs.
Any person who drives on any way a vehicle while knowingly having in his possession or in any part of the vehicle a controlled drug or a controlled drug analog in violation of the provisions of RSA 318-B shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and his or her license shall be revoked or his or her right to drive denied for a period of 60 days and at the discretion of the court for a period not to exceed 2 years.
That's a harsh law. It is also now considered a major motor vehicle offense for the purposes of "habitual offender" certification, which can cause you other licensing problems down the road.

Below is a copy of New Hampshire's "Reckless Driving Law":
TITLE XXI Motor Vehicles CHAPTER 265 Rules of the Road - Serious
Traffic Offenses RSA 265:79 (2012)
265:79 Reckless Driving; Minimum
Penalty.
Whoever upon any way drives a vehicle recklessly, or causes
a vehicle to be driven recklessly, as defined in RSA 626:2, II(c)*, or so that the lives or safety of the public shall be
endangered, or upon a bet, wager, or race, or who drives a vehicle for the
purpose of making a record, and thereby violates any of the provisions of this
title or any rules adopted by the director, shall be, notwithstanding the
provisions of title LXII, guilty of a violation and fined not less than $500 for
the first offense and $750 for the second offense nor more than $1,000 and his
or her license shall be revoked for a period of 60 days for the first offense
and from 60 days to one year for the second offense.
* RSA 626:2 II (c) General Requirements of Culpability: "Recklessly" is
denied as follows:
"Recklessly". A person acts recklessly with respect to a material element of
an offense when he is aware of and consciously disregards a substantial and
unjustifiable risk that the materialelement exists or will rsult from his
conduct. The risk must be of such a nature and degree thatm considering the the
circumstances known to him, its disregard constitutes a gross deviation from the
conduxct that a law-abiding person would observe in such a situation. A person
who creates such a risk but is unaware therof solely by reason of having
voluntarily engaged in intoxication or hypnosis also acts recklessly with regard
thereto.

Typically, I don't worry much about my meter expiring- if I'm in court there's not much I can do about it. But this week I was saved from a parking meter violation by a group of volunteers in Keene, New Hampshire : Robin Hood and the Merry Men of Keene . Instead of the familiar Keene parking violation under my wiper blade, to my surprise a merry message awaited me from the Merry Men of Keene; Robin Hood and his crew of Merry Men had saved from the king's parking meter tariff by putting quarters in my meter. The Keene Cop-blockers who rescued me from a meter violation from the hands of the parking meter police are awesome! Thanks for keeping the meters full and saving me from Keene's parking enforcers! I have "paid it forward". Please keep up the great work Robin Hood and all of the Merry Men! For more info on these good hearted folks visit ShireSociety.com or KeeneCopBlock.org
Thank you for "Robin Hooding" my car and saving me from the king's tariff! You folks ROCK!!!
