We’ve all made bad decisions before—and now that your
Manchester
weekend is behind you, you can focus on making better choices here on out.
That said, a DUI will stay on your driving record in
New Hampshire
for ten years. You will most likely receive a class B misdemeanor on your criminal record, as well.
If this is your first offense, here’s what will happen next for you:
  • Your license will be suspended for a period of 90 days up to two years
  • You will need to pay over $500 in fines
  • You must obtain
    SR-22 insurance
    as proof of financial responsibility for the next three years
You can try to get a reduction in your suspension time by completing an impaired driving intervention program (IDIP) within 45 days of your conviction. If this is your second offense, however, your suspension time will be a mandatory three years, and you may even need to serve jail time depending on how recent your first offense was. A third offense results in indefinite license revocation and definite jail time.
As you probably know by now, getting a DUI is no joke. Not only does it put extensive limits on your driving privileges, but it will
significantly increase your insurance rates
, too.
