Severe weather can create hazardous road conditions. ⛈️ If you find yourself driving on slick roads during a downpour, slow down and remember the basics. ⤵️

‼️ FIRST FEDERAL EQUIPMENT BAN IN OVER TWO DECADES ‼️

NHTSA is banning defective Chinese air bag inflators that have killed at least 10 people and caused serious injuries to 2 others in a dozen crashes.

An investigation revealed that these inflators explode, sending large metal fragments into drivers' chests, necks, eyes and faces.

Vehicle owners: If you have purchased a used vehicle since 2020, it's urgent that you consult the vehicle history for past air bag deployments.

A game plan is the key to success. Make your own plan before kickoff by designating a sober driver. 🏈 Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk.

[Hampstead Police @HampsteadPD]

We are simply stating that this particular law will not be our top priority until this is all sorted out in the courts or with NH law makers.
Respectfully,

*** Legal Update ***
We are already being inundated with clarification with the on going controversy, surrounding vehicle inspection requirements. Originally, the State passed a new law and vehicle inspection stickers were no longer required as of February 1st, 2026.

[Hampstead Police @HampsteadPD]

In fact, we fully encourage motorist to have their vehicles checked routinely by qualified mechanics for obvious safety reasons. Additionally, HPD cannot speak for how other PD's are going to choose to handle inspection sticker requirements, under the current legal debacle.
