I'm not a lawbreaker by any means. I don't speed, I buckle up, and I don't do any drugs whatsoever. I live in Massachusetts, and for those who don't know already, MA has issued a very tough penalty law on Junior Operaters (licensed teens under 18). The law I'm concerned about is the passenger restriction law. The law states that I cannot drive passengers under 18 for the first 6 months of my licensure.
My question is whether or not (I live on the border) I can drive my friends in New Hampshire (a dif. state) who are under 18. In other words, is the MA law applicable in NH? You know, like for a while how in NH they required you buckle up, but in MA you didn't?
I looked for NH laws on Junior (Youth) Operaters, and I'll look again, but your help is much appreciated. I do not wish to break any laws, but I do wish to know what is law and what is not.
Thanks.

You may not be stopped for it in NH. The problem would arise if you were stopped for something else and the info ended up on the ticket. You are bound by your States driving rules. You are taking a chance on losing your driving privleges if it happens.

Call the NH DMV and ask them. A live person should be able to answer your question.
If I had to guess, I would say that if a restriction is placed on your LICENSE, it carries anywhere you carry your license. For example, I used to have a restriction that I had to wear corrective lenses (glasses or contacts) when driving. I had to wear them wherever I drove, not just in Wisconsin where I live.
