Drunk Driving DUI Law

New Hampshire DUI arrests and prosecutions can also be based on New Hampshire’s “per se” DUI law. This DUI law cares nothing about whether or not the suspect exhibits any sign of impairment or not; it is based purely on body chemistry. Was the driver above a .08% BAC  (blood or breath alcohol level) at the time they were behind the wheel?

As a qualified New Hampshire DUI / DWI defense lawyer will be able to tell you, a later station house breath or blood test will only tell you what the person’s BAC was at the time of testing, NOT at the time of driving. It is merely circumstantial evidence of the alcohol level at the time of driving, which is very important in the hands of a New Hampshire DUI / DWI defense attorney.

New Hampshire DUI New Hampshire DUI convictions are reported to other states through the Interstate Driver’s License Compact. This means that if you are from another state, and convicted of drunk driving (DUI or DWI) in New Hampshire, your home state can (and probably will) learn of the drunk driving conviction and impose license consequences upon you there; this is yet one more reason why it is critically important to contact a New Hampshire drunk driving defense lawyer right away if you have been stopped for suspicion of New Hampshire DUI.

Curiously, those charged with a first-offense D.U.I. in New Hampshire do NOT have the right to a jury trial. Those charged with an aggravated first-offense DUI, or a multiple-offense DUI or DWI, do have the right to a jury trial.
