Defendant appealed the trial judge’s decision sustaining the charged violation of R.I.G.L. 1956 § 31-14-2 (prima facie limits).  Moments before trial, the Defendant pleaded guilty.  Following his guilty plea, the trial judge imposed an enhanced sentence under the Act.  The Defendant then appealed, arguing that his fourth conviction was unlawful because he was not made aware of his right to counsel pursuant to Rule 6 of the Traffic Tribunal Rules of Procedure.  The Panel explained that the purpose of Rule 6 was to prevent involuntary pleas at the arraignment phase.  Here, the Defendant entered his guilty plea a month after his arraignment, on the day of trial.  Additionally, the Panel noted that at his arraignment the Defendant was given a courtesy warning that he could face a loss of license for up to two years and that no right to counsel is guaranteed in civil court.  However, the Panel remanded in part to the trial judge to make specific findings of fact that the Defendant’s continued operation of a motor vehicle would pose a substantial traffic safety hazard, as required under the Act.
