T12-0029 Credibility

Defendant appealed the decision of the trial judge sustaining the violation of R.I.G.L. 1965 § 31-15-12 (interval between vehicles).  The Appeals Panel held that it lacked the authority to assess witness credibility or to substitute its judgment for that of the hearing judge concerning the weight of the evidence on questions of fact.  Accordingly, the Court sustained the violation.
