Defendant appealed the Appeals Panel decision sustaining the defendant’s violation of R.I.G.L. 1956 § 31-15-4 (“overtaking on left”). Defendant argued that the trial magistrate at the Rhode Island Traffic Tribunal erred in questioning the witness. Following Rule 614 of the Rhode Island Rules of Evidence, the District Court held that a trial magistrate asking witnesses questions is proper. Accordingly, the Appeals Panel’s decision was affirmed.
