Go To School

» I think that if you drop out of high school then you should not be able to have a driver’s license.

No Texting

» There should be no texting while driving because it is a serious danger.

Speeding

» There should be a stricter punishment for speeding.

Car Chip

» Monitors:» Speed» Driving Tendencies» Shows what went wrong 20 secs before a crash

What can you do

» Try these:» E-mail NHDOT at:» Call NHDOT at:» Write NHDOT at:

In conclusion

» The driving laws should be changed a bit, but there should also be more punishments for bad driving.
