The New Hampshire Office of Highway Safety’s (NHOHS) mission is to drive down fatalities in 2019 and beyond. Continued efforts behind coordinated enforcement, targeted media messaging and education remain key. With the help of our partners, as well as the motoring public, we can all get home safely. Here are things we can all do to ensure a safe journey home:
- Don’t drive distracted. Distraction includes anything that takes your attention away from the road.
- Slow down.
- Drink responsibly. Designate a sober driver, call for a ride or be the designated driver.
- Buckle Up. Every Trip. Every Time.
- To report a reckless driver/erratic behavior, dial *77 from your mobile phone and choose Option 2 for NHSP dispatch. If possible, please pull over, park and call from a safe location or have a passenger call.
We, as individual drivers, are in control of our vehicles and the choices made about how we choose to operate these vehicles. Collectively, we can reduce the tragic events occurring on our highways by simply making the right choices.
