What to Bring to your NH Driver Test
NH Youth Operator License
A license to drive a motor vehicle is not a person's right. It is a privilege that the State of New Hampshire gives to those persons who have shown that they can safely drive a motor vehicle. This privilege may be taken away at any time for many reasons after a hearing.
Original License Suspension
- The Director, upon receiving proper application for an original driver's license, may in his discretion issue a license designated as an original, with such designation to be effective until the fifth anniversary of the license holder's date of birth following the date of issuance to allow such applicant to gain proper driving habits, attitudes and experience.
- The director, after hearing, may suspend or revoke any such original license for good cause upon receipt of proper evidence or information of misconduct, misuse or abuse of such driving privileges. (RSA 263:14)
- Please note that the authority noted above means that if you are under 20 years old and convicted of a motor vehicle violation, your license will be suspended. Your license will be suspended for 20 days first offense, 45 days second offense, and 90 days for a third or subsequent offense.
A License to Drive is a Privilege, Not a Right!
