Town of North Kingstown v. Michelle Mancini, C.A. No. T11-0008 Penalties

Concurrence, Almeida J. The issue of license suspension was not raised at trial, but Justice Almeida noted that because the defendant was cited going less than ten miles per hour over the posted speed limit and since her driving record indicated that she had three prior speeding offenses in the past year, then R.I.G.L. 1956 § 31-41.1-6 and R.I.G.L. 1956 § 31-41.1-4 dictates that the defendant’s license should only have been suspended for thirty days, not the six months that the trial magistrate assigned.
