The Defendant appealed the trial judge’s decision sustaining the charged violation of G.L. 1956 §31-15-11 (laned roadways).  The Defendant maintained she was not informed that by going to trial, her ability to use the “good driver” statute would become void.  However, the Defendant was asked both prior to trial and again by the Appeals Panel if she wanted the violation dismissed pursuant to R.I.G.L. §31-41.1-7 and each time she declined. Therefore, the Panel found that she was properly informed of the availability of the good driver statute.  The Panel reversed and dismissed the charged violation on other grounds.
