What are the New Hampshire State Driving Laws?
Answer:
New Hampshire uses a demerit point system to
track driving safety. Traffic violations are assigned point values, which are added to your record. Some common point values are:

·                    Tailgating – 3 points
·                    Failure to yield right of way – 3 points
·                    Running a stop sign – 3 points
·                    DUI – 6 points

Earning 12 points within a year will result in a license suspension.

New Hampshire does not have a law that regulates the use of seatbelts by adults. However, children under the age of 18 must be properly restrained at all times while in a moving vehicle. Children under the age of six must be in a child safety seat. Violations of this law bring a $50 fine. There is no law about motorcycle helmet use in New Hampshire.

Anyone driving in New Hampshire must follow the posted speed limits. Business and urban residential districts have a 30 mph speed limit. Certain rural residential districts have a 35 mph speed limit. Interstates, turnpikes, and some highways have 65 mph speed limits. All other roads, unless marked, have a 55 mph speed limit. Failure to follow a speed limit brings a fine that is based on how high over the speed limit you are traveling. New Hampshire does not have a cell phone law.

You must always yield the right of way to emergency vehicles in New Hampshire. If you can, move to the right hand side of the road and stop when an emergency vehicle with its lights or siren on is passing you. Otherwise, clear the lane where the emergency vehicle is traveling and allow it to pass.
