Subject: Mandating
NH drivers are considerate and law abiding. Far from lemmings driving into telephone poles, we do use the belts because common sense dictates we do so. That's one of the things that I love about living here. We use and apply the sense we are given. Mostly because we don't have mandated regulation on self preservation in automobiles.
The most dangerous driving condition in NH isn't lack of seat belt use, weather, or negligence.
It's a Massachusetts driver who drives erratically when they get frustrated with us following the speed limit. They then pass on a double yellow to get one spot ahead of us, and get stuck behind the car up next. Then jam on their brakes and blame us for rear ending them.
And they aren't usually using their belts despite their state mandated seat belt use.
