Summary: Drunk Drivers Impaired Intervention Program: IDIP DWI New Hampshire
Impaired Driver Intervention Program: IDIP
If you are convicted of your first DWI offense, in addition to any fines, you must attend either the Impaired Driver Intervention Program (IDIP) or Weekend Impaired Driver Intervention Program (WIDIP). These are 20-hour classes, plus additional time for interviews and assessment. The classes are spread over several days and are at your expense (currently $310 for the IDIP and $430 for the WIDIP). The assessment could result in a recommendation for additional counseling (“aftercare”) so the program will cost you substantial time and money. In addition, for these classes you must supply a Certified Motor Vehicle Record, at your expense.
