Moving violations occur when a traffic law is broken by a vehicle in motion. These offenses range from minor infractions to serious criminal charges and can affect your driving record, lead to fines, or result in license suspension. Speeding violations—the most common type—happen when a driver exceeds the posted speed limit or drives too fast for road conditions.
Examples of moving and speeding violations include:
Even one violation can result in increased insurance premiums, DMV points, or court-ordered driving courses. If you’re facing any of these charges in Rhode Island, it’s important to speak with a qualified traffic violation attorney to protect your rights.
Determining liability in a moving or speeding violation case often hinges on the officer’s observations, radar or lidar readings, traffic camera footage, and any available witness statements. However, that doesn’t mean the citation is automatically valid. At Almagno Law, we closely examine every detail of your case—questioning whether the traffic stop was lawful, if the speed detection equipment was properly calibrated, and whether environmental factors like poor signage or road conditions played a role. We also assess any inconsistencies in the officer’s report and explore available video or third-party evidence that may support your defense. By identifying weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, we work to reduce or dismiss the charges against you and protect your driving record.
