What Is Verified About New Hampshire Pilot-Car Qualification?
Current Tra 304.17 distinguishes non-police escorts and State Police escorts. Non-police vehicles must be compact-car size or larger, registered/inspected and equipped for constant communication; the operator must follow the positioning/contact duties. No affirmative driver-course/card exemption is established by this review.
Which New Hampshire Credentials Need Separate Checks?
The reviewed material does not resolve separate company-registration requirements; confirm the business obligations with the relevant state agency. Registered and inspected compact-size-or-larger vehicle, required warning equipment and compatible two-way radio. The rule expressly assigns certain bridge traffic stopping to the police escort; do not present a private escort as a police substitute.
The general steps before accepting escort work apply in every state.
