New Hampshire allows people to obtain their licenses at 16 and carry one passenger at 16 and a half. Would New Hampshire law apply in Maschusetts for the passenger part or Massachusetts law?

It depends. Here, these are the laws for drivers under the age of 18...
* The holder can not drive between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.
* A holder may only have as many passengers as there are seat belts/safety restraints.
* During the first 90 days, the holder may only drive with a licensed adult over the age of 25.
So, if you've only had your license for 90 days or less then you may only drive with an adult over the age of 25 who also has a license (it's not that you have to be 16 and a half, it's automatic if you're under 18.) However, as long as you've had your license for at least 90 days, I'm pretty sure it's fine for you drive over state lines. I've never heard or read that it's against the law, and when I was 16 I drove to over state lines to Maine and Massachusetts - no problems.
Hope I could help!

With a relative who's an adult sitting the front seat, yes. In New Hampshire, if you're at least 15 and half years of age and have an adult relative in the front seat, you may drive with or without a driver's permit. Driver's permits are not required in the state of New Hampshire, you just have to be at least 15 and a half. Buckle up and drive safe!

If you have a full driver's license (not a learner's permit), then you can drive the same way any other fully licensed person can drive in whichever state you care to drive in.
One of the rules about being a State in the Union, is that you have to abide by some of the decisions on regulation that other states make. This is a huge sticking point in gay marriage, for example, as when one state says "These people are married", every other state is supposed to treat them as married, as well.

You may want to check and see if you can even cross state lines. A lot of states will not allow minors cross state lines unless they are with an adult. They could classify you as a run away if you are pulled over by the highway patrol or are involved in an accident. check the laws in both states. you DMV should give you that information.

only if you're traveling over 55 mph on the turnpike headed west. if you're going east, all bets are off.
