Town of Johnston v. Gregory Acciardo, C.A. No. T09-0078-Passing of Vehicles Proceeding in Opposite Direction § 31-15-3

The Town of Johnston appealed the trial magistrate’s decision dismissing the violations of R.I.G.L. 1956 § 31-15-3 (passing of vehicles proceeding in opposite direction) and R.I.G.L. 1956 § 31-16-5 (turn signal required). The Appeals Panel held that because the record contained no evidence that the defendant passed any vehicles proceeding in the opposite direction, there was insufficient evidence to sustain the violation of § 31-15-3. Accordingly, the Court affirmed the decision of the trial magistrate.
