Answer:
In New Hampshire, you can apply for a hardship license after a suspension. To do this, you must submit proof of financial responsibility and an application that shows why you need the license. You also need satisfactory evidence from your employer that operating a vehicle is necessary for your job.
The relevant laws include:
- RSA 263:57-a: This law states that if a person 21 years or older loans their driver’s license to someone under 21 for alcohol purchase, their license will be suspended for 60 days.
- RSA 263:57-b: This allows individuals convicted of certain offenses to petition for a limited driving privilege. To qualify, you must provide proof of financial responsibility and demonstrate the need for the license based on specific criteria, such as needing to drive for work, education, or medical treatment.
Note that a limited privilege license will have restrictions on when and where you can drive, and it may require you to use an ignition interlock device for a year after restoration.
