Rhode Island DUI Lawyer

A 2006 Rhode Island law that applies harsher penalties to drivers who refuse the Breathalyzer test was recently backed by the courts.   Before the law passed, an estimated 85% of drunken drivers refused the test.  However, the law doubled the license suspension of those who refused the test to 6 months and added prison time and higher fines for repeat offenders.   The Attorney General, Patrick Lynch, praised the high court’s backing of the law as a “victory for public safety.”
