Attorney Hynes talks about New Hampshire DWI laws

NH DWI attorney Hynes who has offices in Manchester, Bedford, Concord, Nashua Portsmouth and offers DWI defense in all of New Hampshire talks about DWI laws applicable in the state. He said, “I come across people who have least knowledge about the DWI regulations and penalties in the State of NH; that coupled withincreasing DWI charges in New Hampshire prompted me to talk about DWI laws because it’s important that people of the state are aware of the laws which can in turn help safeguard their rights.”

He adds, “Following are the DWI laws and regulations in NH. It should be noted that these are subject to change from time to time:

Section 265-A2>

It’s against law to operate and/or attempt to drive an OHRV in the state under the influence of intoxicants such as alcohol, drugs, or a combination thereof with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) equal to or greater than 0.08%.

Also it isn’t essential that a person stopped on suspicion show signs of impairment, but when the person's BAC is above the legal limit it can get him/her arrested and be booked under DUI in NH. Also even when the person’s BAC level is under the legal limit, a person may still have DWI offense charged if he/she should be displaying signs of impairment that conform to the DUI.”

The penalties include:

First time DWI offenders

* Jailfor a minimum time period of 10 days (in case of aggravated DUI)
* Fine of $500-750 (in case of aggravated DWI)
