NEWS RELEASE: SHARE THE ROAD, SAVE LIVES THIS SUMMER
CONCORD, N.H. – The New Hampshire Office of Highway Safety (NHOHS) is encouraging all New Hampshire drivers and riders to commit to sharing the road through safe driving and riding practices this summer.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), nationwide, the fatality rate for motorcyclists was 27 times higher than that of passenger car occupants in 2024. From 2021 to 2025, 161 motorcycle riders – 148 operators and 13 passengers – died as a result of crashes in New Hampshire, including 30 riders – 27 operators and 3 passengers – last year alone. During the same 5-year period, there were 105 nonfatal crashes reported involving motorcycles. Speed and alcohol impairment are the leading contributors in fatalities among motorcycle riders, NHTSA data shows.
“Warmer weather brings increased traffic, road construction, and unpredictable hazards,” said New Hampshire Department of Safety Assistant Commissioner Eddie Edwards. “Whether commuting or enjoying a weekend ride, simple choices like slowing down, staying visible, and never riding impaired can save lives.”
Motorcycle riders are encouraged to ride sober, observe all traffic laws and speed limits, ride defensively, avoid distractions, and wear protective clothing. When operating a vehicle near motorcycles, drivers are encouraged to also avoid distractions, always look twice before changing lanes, and provide motorcyclists with plenty of space.
“I want to remind every rider how important it is to RideSMART, stay aware, and be responsible every time you get on your motorcycle,” said Traci Beaurivage, president of the New Hampshire Motorcyclists’ Rights Organization. “We all love the freedom that comes with riding, but that freedom also comes with responsibility. The choices we make on the road reflect not only ourselves, but also the entire riding community. Pay attention to the traffic around you, watch the road conditions, ride within your limits, and never assume drivers see you. Look out for yourselves and look out for each other, because every rider matters.”
Interested motorcyclists can also receive dynamic riding skills and build confidence by participating in the New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles’ Motorcycle Rider Training Program. Learn more at dmv.nh.gov/drivers-licensenon-driver-ids/motorcycle-rider-training-program.
