New
Hampshire DUI (driving under the influence) or DWI(driving while
intoxicated) laws are charged in two different ways. The first is the
common-law drunk driving case, where one is arrested for driving while under
the influence of alcohol, drugs, or a combination of the two.
DUI laws care nothing about whether or not the suspect exhibits any sign of impairments or not. It is purely based on body chemistry. As a qualified New Hampshire DUI/DWI defense lawyer will be able to tell you, a later station house breath or blood test will only tell you what the person%u2019s BAC was at the time of testing, Not at the time of driving, That is very important in the hands of a New Hampshire DUI/DWI defense attorney. In Dui laws the legal limit is .08 percent blood alcohol content (BAC) in all 50 states. Now DUI / DWI punishment has increased, and jail sentences, higher fines, increased car insurance premiums, longer driver's license suspensions, mandatory alcohol education programs, and ignition interlock devices are common penalties. A skilled lawyer will seek to challenge every bit of evidence in a drunk-driving case, and try to create reasonable doubt in the accused driver%u2019s guilt. In few states DUI/DWI is a unique offense, that generates the two separate cases: First one is Court case that can result in fines penalties and jail time, and a Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) hearing that can lead to the suspension or revocation of the driver's license. | Author
