Under New Hampshire's "Under 20" law, the Director can suspend an original license after a hearing. Suspensions grow with each offense: 20-40 days, then 45-90 days, then 90-180 days plus a driver attitude program.

What minimum following distance does the New Hampshire Driver's Manual recommend in normal conditions?
- A At least two seconds
- B At least three seconds
- C At least four seconds
- D One car length per 10 mph
Show answer
C. At least four seconds
Keep at least four seconds between you and the vehicle ahead. Count from when its rear passes a fixed point until you reach that point; if you get there before "one-thousand-four," slow down and recount.
The car ahead is slowing to turn left. May you pass it on the paved shoulder?
- A Yes, if the shoulder is paved
- B Yes, if you signal first
- C Yes, if you keep under 25 mph
- D No, never pass on the shoulder, paved or not
Show answer
D. No, never pass on the shoulder, paved or not
Never pass on the shoulder, whether it is paved or not. Shoulders are for emergencies, and pedestrians, cyclists or stopped vehicles may be there.
It is illegal for a New Hampshire driver under 21 to have physical control of a vehicle with an alcohol concentration of at least what level?
- A 0.00
- B 0.05
- C 0.02
- D 0.08
Show answer
C. 0.02
Drivers under 21 may not have physical control of a vehicle with an alcohol concentration of 0.02 or more, or while impaired by any drug. This near-zero rule reflects that young drivers are both inexperienced and underage to drink.

You want to turn left at an intersection, and an oncoming car is close enough to be a hazard. What must you do?
- A Turn quickly before the oncoming car arrives
- B Yield until the oncoming car has passed
- C Go first, since you were in the intersection first
- D Flash your headlights and then turn

Under RSA 265:29, a driver turning left must yield to vehicles from the opposite direction that are in the intersection or close enough to be an immediate hazard. Turn only when there is a safe gap.
