Driving While Distracted Ticket Dismissed!
March 2025
Our client was cited for Driving While Distracted after an officer alleged the client was using a mobile device while driving. At the hearing, defense counsel argued that the officer did not clearly observe any prohibited use of a device and that the report lacked the specific facts necessary to prove a violation.
The defense demonstrated that the officer's conclusion was based on assumption rather than a clear observation of unlawful conduct. As a result, the court dismissed the citation.
Outcome: Ticket dismissed and no impact on the client's driving record.
Practice area(s): Speeding / Traffic Ticket
Court: Rhode Island Traffic Tribunal
