Depending on where you're moving from and what you desire in MTB, you may be disappointed. The best riding is definitely in the northern half of the state (and VT). Riding south of green woodlands is pretty weak (minimal elevation, unchallenging except for the rock gardens).

I believe you can refuse the preliminary breath test (and field sobriety test in general) without penalty (other than winning a free ride down to the station or hospital for official testing).

See- https://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/html/xxi/265-a/265-A-15.htm

"Failure to submit to the test shall not constitute a violation of this chapter"

I stare HARD at them while doing nothing. The irony is it would be faster if they just followed the rules but now we're doing this little showdown in the middle of the street so they can feel better about themselves I guess.

I just have one request. If there is a moose or a deer in my path and you are in the oncoming Lane, don't stop and put your high beams up hoping that I will see the deer or moose. Either I will keep my eyes on your car to figure out your intentions, or your high beams will blind me.

If you are going stop, pull over so I can swerve... or pull over and turn your headlights off.

Or do nothing....just dont become a distraction....

It’s packed with denial…he’ll learn alllllllll about denial at the IDIP weekend course. The final draft usually goes something like “I knowingly drank to excess, got behind the wheel because of my contempt for the law, and I have nobody to blame but myself. I accept the consequences of my actions.”

I’ll +1 for Jefco.

The most favorable course of events is 1) he pleads guilty to what it sounds like he knows that he DID do 2) he signs up immediately for the IDIP program 3) doing so vacates 6 of the 9 month suspension AND the DMV will generally waive the ALS 4) he will pay a fine ($620) and lose his license for 3 months 5) after 45 days he can apply for a limited license to drive to work (after installing an ignition interlock at his expense). An attorney may be able to find an angle to destroy the case on procedure or something like that but this is less than ideal; the average DUI has to drive intoxicated 188 times before getting arrested so I think it’s entirely likely that this wasn’t his first time and if he doesn’t take responsibility here, it also likely won’t be his last…DUI has a better than 90% recidivism rate.

Honestly with all of the people moving to NH, I’d check out Rochester. Not far from the seacoast and super easy access to the mountains. Awful reputation but it’s bound to be gentrified sooner or later just due to its location. If you don’t have kids in schools and can handle some minor crime, check that out. Same thing with Franklin.

The rules make sense once you understand them. Unfortunately schools don’t do a good job of teaching financial education including budgeting or how the credit system works. In theory it should be a mandatory class but not even in college is real world financials a real class. Once I started wanting to travel using airline miles or hotel points did I find all of the ways to increase your credit score or maintain it. Not that I’m saying that’s the direction to go in but if you need ways to improve yours I’m happy to help.
