• New Hampshire law requires that motorists pull as far to the right as practical and come to a complete stop on the approach of any emergency vehicle with emergency lights and/or siren activated.
• DO NOT exit your vehicle unless asked to do so by the officer.
• DO keep your hands in plain view on the steering wheel, so the officer can see them. This is a standard safety measure for the officer - s/he doesn't know you. Please do not be insulted. If the stop occurs at night, please turn on your interior dome light.
• DO NOT make any sudden movements inside the vehicle, especially toward the floorboard, rear seat, or glove box areas.
• If your license, vehicle registration, or insurance information are not within reach, tell the officer where they are located before you attempt to retrieve them.
• Avoid becoming argumentative. Arguing will not change an officer's decision to issue a summons or a warning. If you disagree with receiving a summons, you can argue the case at the Portsmouth District Court before a judge.
