assignment due 6/30

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- A Goffstown man has been arrested and charged in connection with a Manchester hit-and-run accident that seriously injured a 7-year-old girl, police said. John Sturdevant, 24, was charged Wednesday with conduct after an accident, making a false report of an accident and being a habitual offender. Police responded to a report of a hit-and-run Friday at 81 A St. and discovered that Alicia Ladd, 7, had been struck by a vehicle while she was riding a toy scooter. She was taken to a Boston hospital for surgery, and her father said she suffered a broken femur and other injuries. Her injuries were not life-threatening.

I don't know why people lie about stuff like this, there is no reason to because its better to tell the truth now. If you don't the police will find out one way or another that you are guilty. So you should just tell the truth all the time.

Regulatory signs- Tells you about laws that you must obey. Signs are either white squares or rectangles with red or black lettering. Two examples of these signs are used for do not pass and one way.
Warning signs- Can help you avoid surprise situations. Most warning signs are diamond-shaped. They have black symbols or lettering on a yellow background. Two examples are to tell you there is a signal ahead and to warn to warn you that a deer might run out in front of you.
Guide signs- provide a variety of in formation, such as mark routes, intersections, service areas, and other points of interests or information. Interstate route signs are red, white, and blue shields with a number system. Green signs provide information on destinations ahead and distances to be traveled. Blue signs guide you to services such as fuel, food, lodging, and nearby hospitals. Brown signs direct you to recreation areas or points to intersect. Two examples are interstate route markers and service areas.

For the purpose of identifying habitually reckless or negligent drivers and frequent violators of traffic regulations governing the movement of vehicles a uniform system is established assigning demerit points for convictions of violations of this title. Notice of each assessment of points may be given. No points shall be assessed for violating a provision of a statute or municipal ordinance regulating standing, parking, equipment, size, or weight. The conviction report from the court shall be prima facie evidence of the points assessed. The department is also authorized to suspend the license of a driver when the driver's driving record identifies the driver as an habitual offender.
my feeling about the law that it is so dumb because what if someone neglects it only once. They should at least a warning about it instead of going to court.

Where is your info on the 3 types of signs and the point system?

Sorry I had a hard time seeing where they were because you didn't give them each a heading.
