Rhode Island's traffic violation laws are like those in most other states. If you commit three speeding and/or misdemeanor traffic violations within 18 months, your license will be revoked for at least six months.

Naturally, there are many other consequences for traffic violations and driving violations such as DUI's.

• Having a prior conviction within seven years
• Speeding 20 mph over the limit
• Having a child under 14 in the car
• Having a blood alcohol content reading over .20%
• Refusing to submit to chemical testing

Some of the most common Traffic Violations include:

• Child Restraint Law
