If you feel like your daily commute in New Hampshire has become more treacherou
If you feel like your daily commute in New Hampshire has become more treacherous, you might be right. Data from New Hampshire State Police show an increase in dangerous driving on state highways. In fact, driving on roads across the U.S. has become increasingly more dangerous, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. “We have to be patient and courteous to other drivers out here,” said Steven Cooper, a retired sergeant with the New Hampshire State Police. Cooper said he has seen it all after spending more than 20 years with the agency. State police Lt. Christopher Storm said troopers are seeing more egregious violations on the road, especially speeding. Within the past year, state police have issued about 1,600 tickets for driving 25 mph or more over the 65 mph limit, including to one person who was caught going 128 mph.
