Being convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) in New Hampshire means fines, penalties, and court costs. It also brings with it administrative penalties, like the costs of the Impaired Driver Intervention Program (IDIP) and driver’s license restoration fees. Yet the real cost of a DUI or DWI conviction is much higher.
A New Hampshire drunk driving conviction brings with it some heavy costs, both those related to the conviction itself and those related to how your life must change after conviction. Attorney’s fees, bills for towing and impounding your car, and the costs of being in jail are unpleasant but not always unexpected surprises. Yet the costs of a drunk driving conviction in NH go much further, showing up as increased auto insurance premiums, costs for public transportation, a temporary loss of income, or even the loss of your job. Overall, a drunk driving conviction can cost as much as $20,000, according to Bank Rate – and that’s assuming you keep your job after you are convicted of the crime.
