Legal Question in DUI Law in New Hampshire

Re: DWI reciprocity

There is a very high probability that New Hampshire will notify Florida, and Florida will suspend your driving privileges for a comparable period of time. There may be additional or different penalties in Florida for under age drinking and driving.

Re: DWI reciprocity

Hello: I read your question and the one response. I guess the first issue regarding the status of your Fla. license is whether NH law suspends your license while the case is pending. I am assuming you did not plead to it. If you did, you were probably told the length of the suspension. If you haven't plead to the charge, you should get an atty. up there and fight it. that is a low reading on your breath test.

If you plead to the case up there, there is a suspension of the lic. With modern computer systems, Fla. may be made aware of the NH susp. On the other hand, this is the gov't.!!! You have a good chance it's incompetence may leave Fla. in the dark. You can get on Fla's Dept. of Highway and Motor vehicles website and check the status of your Fla. license. Just type in your DL #.

If you happen to get pulled over for some reason and an officer tells you your license is suspended, tell him/her you were not aware Fla. suspended your license. That way you may get charged with driving on a susp. lic., but you should only get a notice to appear at a later date. If one knowingly drives on a susp. lic. the officer can arrest the person. Also, if your Fla. lic. is suspended, you can apply for a hardship lic. so that you can get to work/school, etc. 'hope this helps. Good luck. Tom Rosenblum
