WBZ)MANCHESTER, N.H. Drivers in New Hampshire are getting a warning to relax and slow down or they will face the penalty.
The number of fatal accidents is up in the state, so police are stepping up patrols and putting special emphasis on finding aggressive, speeding drivers.
The effort is also in response to complaints from citizens.
State police teamed up with Manchester police, targeting traffic hot spots in the city on Thursday.
"It usually doesn't take long before you see someone breaking the law," said Trooper Andy Player with the New Hampshire State Police.
Player made several stops in a short amount of time and even pulled over two speeders at once.
Police are also looking for violators around South Willow Street that they say is the No. 1 intersection for accidents in the state.
"Just trying to adjust people's attitude," said Lt. John Lelacheur with the New Hampshire State Police. "We just want people to comply, follow the laws, don't block the intersections."
"We're going to try to hold them accountable for any violations and make citizens feel a little safer that we are trying to do something," said Sgt. Peter Bartlett of the Manchester Police Department.
"We found if you're out enforcing the little laws, the bigger ones don't become as much of a problem," Player said.
Manchester police have set up an email address so people can send in their complaints.
