New Hampshire does not presently have any hardship/work license if you are found guilty of DWI. With the passage of this new bill, that may change.

State lawmakers will consider giving judges the discretion to allow first-time offenders to stay on the road, providing they can prove a need to drive and use vehicle ignition systems that test their sobriety.

It would limit driving to keeping or getting a job, attending treatment programs, receiving medical care or taking a member of their immediate family for health-care appointments.

"New Hampshire, you salty dog; we never would have guessed. Quite the surprise. Or is it?

Well, considering the state enacts no sales tax on alcohol purchases, we can see why its residents (and bordering Massachusetts, Maine and Vermont residents too) are more free to spend, drink and be merry. At a wholesale level, retailers pay 30 cents a gallon on beer, and $2 a gallon for wine and spirits. Cheap! The next round is on us, OK?

Cheers, New Hampshire. You'll be hosting the next rager, we're sure.

In yet another scandal involving lab personnel, almost 3000 DWI cases are at risk to mishandled evidence.

"DUI results from across Tennessee may be in jeopardy after the firing aTennessee Bureau of Investigation employee for mishandling evidence.

The Chattanooga Times Free Press reported (http://bit.ly/1aT6bIv) that former Special Agent Kyle Bayer handed 2,800 cases before being dismissed Monday after an internal review revealed he mistakenly switched two blood alcohol samples in a vehicular homicide case in Hamilton County."

If you gave a blood test, the lab saves a sample for 30 days. You must act right away to tell them to save the sample so that you can get it independently tested. Don't just rely on the State's crime lab to tell you what your blood alcohol concentration was.

The Most Responsible Drinkers Can Be Found In the State of New Hampshire

More than a few eyebrows will be raised in surprise when people learn that individuals who consume alcoholic beverages in New Hampshire engage in more responsible behaviors than alcoholic drinkers in other states.

Research scientists from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration collected data from multiple sources, including the Federal Highway Administration and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, to gauge which states possess the highest rates of alcohol consumption, as well as the highest rates of automobile accidents. It would be reasonable to assume that the states possessing the highest rates of alcohol consumption would also feature the most deadly, alcohol linked fatalities, but this does not appear to be true.

What Kind of Lawyer Do I Need For My DWI Case?

First and foremost, you must be aware that, even if the circumstances of your case appear hopeless to you, this does not mean that you cannot successfully defend yourself against a New Hampshire DWI charge, particularly if you are represented by an experienced and knowledgeable Nashua New Hampshire DWI lawyer. The State of New Hampshire is tasked with the burden of proving each, single element of the charge against you beyond a reasonable doubt. A skilled DWI attorney can often uncover methods of preventing the prosecution from meeting this burden of obligation.

Issues of constitutionality can often be raised that may prevent the state from introducing the evidence that would be required to convict you. For example, law enforcement officials may not have followed federal or state regulations or statutes. If the prosecution’s case is sufficiently weakened, then they will be unable to prove your guilt.
