Luck may come with St. Patrick’s Day weekend, though being stopped for impaired driving may have some feeling green.

Local, county and state law enforcement officials plan to be out in full force over the weekend with the goal of deterring and detecting impaired driving.

“Drivers in New Hampshire should know that we have zero tolerance for impairment,” N.H. Department of Safety Assistant Commissioner Eddie Edwards said in a press release.

Since 2021, when a fatal crash occurred over the holiday in Bedford, impaired driving has been a top factor for “numerous” crashes throughout the state and dozens of arrests have been made, according to authorities.

Of the 137 fatal crashes on New Hampshire roads in 2022, 100, or 80%, of them were related to alcohol and/or drugs, according to the state Department of Safety’s Division of Motor Vehicles. A total of 107 people were killed as a result of impairment-related wrecks.

Anyone caught driving impaired could face a suspended license, a minimum fine of $500, misdemeanor or felony charges, jail time, being required to use an ignition interlock device, and be forced to attend a drivers’ education program, plus face higher insurance rates, the release said.

“Everyone who plans to drink on St. Patrick’s Day should plan for a safe and sober ride home,” N.H. state police Lt. Christopher Storm said in the release.
