    Frequently asked questions

    Does reckless driving really mean losing my license in New Hampshire?

    Yes — a first conviction carries a mandatory 60-day revocation that the judge cannot waive, on top of a minimum $500 fine and 6 points. Avoiding the conviction itself is the only way to avoid the revocation.

    Can reckless operation be reduced in New Hampshire?

    Often — negotiation to a lesser offense with no mandatory revocation is the central goal, and it succeeds regularly for drivers with clean histories. Attorneys in our network know which outcomes local prosecutors will entertain.

    I was charged with reckless based on speed alone. Is that valid?

    NH treats very high speeds — commonly 100+ mph — as reckless per se, but many speed-based charges sit in gray areas where the evidence of actual danger is thin. Those are precisely the cases worth contesting.

    Is reckless operation a crime in New Hampshire?

    A first offense is a violation-level offense rather than a misdemeanor, but the mandatory revocation and insurance fallout make it as damaging as many criminal charges — and repeat offenses escalate.
