Why: On highways, you must signal at least 500 feet before turning or changing lanes. This provides other drivers enough time to react to your intentions at high speeds.
Why: New Hampshire law recommends a minimum following distance of four seconds to ensure road safety. This gap provides enough time to react to sudden stops or hazards ahead of you.
Why: For drivers 21 years of age or older, the legal limit for blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.08%. Operating a vehicle at or above this level is considered driving while intoxicated.
Why: Marijuana is an impairing drug that negatively affects the cognitive and motor skills required for safe driving. According to the manual, drugs like marijuana slow down a driver's ability to process information and respond to the road.
Why: At 55 mph, passing requires a significant distance to account for both your travel and a potential oncoming vehicle. You need over 1,600 feet to safely complete the maneuver without risk of collision.
