Suspension of Your Driver's License

Suspension of your driver's license, from three months to one year, is a direct result of the DMV Demerit Point System. How many points can you accumulate before suspension? It depends on your age. There are three age categories:

Drivers under the age of 18

• Six points in one calendar year: three months suspension.
• 12 points in two consecutive years: up to six months suspension.
• 18 points in three consecutive calendar years: up to one year suspension.

Drivers 18, 19, or 20

• Nine points in one calendar year: up to three months suspension.
• 15 points in two consecutive calendar years: up to six months suspension.
• 21 points in three consecutive calendar years: up to one year suspension.

Drivers age 21 and older

• 12 points in one calendar year: up to three months suspension.
• 18 points in two consecutive calendar years: up to six months suspension.
• 24 points in three consecutive calendar years: up to one year suspension.

Costs of License Suspension

Once you have exceeded your points limit and lose your license, the penalty goes beyond fines and licensing fees. It is common for auto insurance rates to increase after suspension.

There are other costly problems that creep up when your license is suspended. New Hampshire does not have a hardship or work exception so you can drive to school or work. The inconvenience and burden on others will also affect you and your family. The cost of license lost goes far beyond getting fined.

Having a driver's license is a privilege and you will be glad for taking the responsibility seriously.

Your license has been under suspension in another state and now you are applying for a New Hampshire driver’s license the suspension must be cleared so that you’re out of state license is valid before you are able to get a New Hampshire driver's license.
