Penalty for non-certification?

SBC · 08-14-2005, 01:22 AM

Police officers in New Hampshire are taught to place great emphasis on observing the rights of the public they serve. Given todays realities, it is an obligation more important than ever to understand and uphold.

Skip is so right and knows what importance is placed on respecting our citizens by NH's law enforcement folks. Occasionally you may hear of a discourteous officer but put yourself in their shoes...if you had to put up with some of the just plain stupid things that some people do you might get a little frustrated doing the job. Now think about that in the context of Marine Patrol and the various individuals they come in contact with.

I took the safety course the first year that they were taught. I have a 8.5 by 11" peice of paper that says I pass the course. It is getting pretty faded and worned. When I had to present it to the MP a month ago during a VSC, the officer was cursing about the readability of the paper. I notice PWC operators have a plastic ID card that they put on their ket chain. Is this exclusive to PWC owners? It would be convenience to have such a card.

The certificate is now a credit card size piece of plastic. I know you can get a duplicate from the marine patrol for a $10 fee. You can print out the form from the link below, there is also a phone number for questions. I don't see why they wouldn't honor your old one if they can read it.

My card is the same as RLW. I took it when the program started. (2000?) I am so old that I am not "due" until 2008 but figured to get it done.

Tangent - 150' more than ROW. Both are important, however a head on collision is a serious 150' violation. Should have stopped and argued the ROW.
