Jessica’s Law Reminder

Since 2002, New Hampshire drivers have been legally required to clear snow and ice off their cars before getting on the road.

Jessica’s Law was passed after the death of Jessica Smith who was killed when ice from a tractor-trailer hit a box truck that ended up hitting her car.

Drivers who violate the law face fines of $250 to $500 for a first offense and $500 to $1,000 for subsequent offenses.

Just a friendly reminder from The Pulse of NH to clear off the snow from the top of your vehicle.
