What speed is considered reckless driving in New Hampshire?

I live in New Hampshire and although I’m 25 years old, I just got my license. Since I’ve been driving, I like to go really fast. But I don’t want to get a ticket for reckless driving. How fast do you have to go to get a reckless driving charge in New Hampshire?

New Hampshire
, you should know the law. A speed of 100 mph or more is considered reckless driving in New Hampshire. Getting caught driving this fast can leave you with stiff penalties and increased car insurance rates.
Although reckless driving is not a misdemeanor in New Hampshire, it still comes with consequences like:
  • A fine of up to $500
  • License revocation of up to six months
  • Six points on your license
  • A second offense results in a $750 fine and loss of your license for up to one year
If you get a reckless driving charge—or even a speeding ticket—your car insurance rates are likely to go up. To avoid a sky-high premium, use the
