Defendant appealed the decision of the Appeals Panel sustaining the violations of R.I.G.L. 1956 § 31-27-2.1 (refusal to submit to a chemical test) and § 31-47-9 (operation without proof of insurance). The Court rejected the defendant’s argument that the state failed to prove by clear and convincing evidence that he operated his vehicle without insurance and held that the trial court acted within its statutorily proscribed discretion by suspending the defendant’s license for four months. Accordingly, the Court affirmed the decision sustaining the violations against the defendant.
