My boyfriend's license was suspended in NH due to Habitual Offender Law.He had 5 speeding tickets, one OAS (his license wasn't actually suspended but he chose to suck it up and pay the fines despite the DMV's mistake and pled guilty and didn't fight it), one negligent driving (he has a 3 ton truck and his tires spun in gravel and he got a ticket. He didn't fight it bc he didn't realize how serious it was and that he'd be a habitual offender because of it).

He has lost his license for one yr. A lawyer told us he may be able to request a hearing in VT and try to get a license in VT. He would still be unable to drive in NH but a VT license would be very beneficial. What is the best course of action to go about doing this? Thanks and try to be detailed. Please no guesses: only facts.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Google "states driver's license compact". All but a few states report suspensions to a national database, including your state. Read and weep.

and beyond the suspension issue (which is really insurmountable), if he is a resident of NH, he does not qualify for a VT license. Unless he plans on moving to VT, he does not qualify for a VT license.

While you're at it, google "National Driver Registry" and see what happens with the states that aren't in the DLC!

The applications asks if the applicant has had their driving privilege revoked, restricted, suspended or refused in any state. When the applicant answers in the affirmative (as is required, by law), then the license will be denied.
