Concord, NH – Communities across New Hampshire are joining a national effort this week to promote teen driver safety and prevent crashes among young motorists. The initiative, part of National Teen Driver Safety Week, emphasizes communication between parents and teens about responsible driving habits.
According to the New Hampshire Office of Highway Safety, the campaign aims to reduce risky behaviors such as texting, speeding, and driving with too many passengers. Law enforcement agencies statewide are reminding families that teens learn from example—meaning parents play a critical role in shaping safe habits behind the wheel.
The New Hampshire State Police shared several key reminders for families this week: no phone use while driving, avoid distractions, obey speed limits, limit the number of passengers, and always wear seatbelts. Officials say that simple conversations at home can have a lasting impact on teen safety and help reduce crashes statewide.
Teen drivers represent one of the highest-risk age groups for traffic collisions. State safety leaders are urging residents to use this awareness week as an opportunity to review rules, refresh habits, and model safe driving every day.
