- Typical fine
- $95 minimum, rising with speed over the limit
- License points
- No point system — Rhode Island tracks convictions, not points

- The Traffic Tribunal can impose escalating fines and license suspension for repeat moving violations; excessive speed can bring a suspension on its own.
Frequently asked questions
Does Rhode Island add points for speeding?
No — there is no point system. But don't confuse that with no consequences: the conviction goes on your record, insurers surcharge it for years, and the Traffic Tribunal ramps up penalties fast for repeat offenses.
What is Rhode Island's good-driver dismissal?
If you've had a clean record for the past three years, R.I. law lets a Traffic Tribunal judge dismiss a first minor moving violation, often after court costs. An attorney can make sure you actually qualify and present it properly.
Do I need to appear at the Traffic Tribunal myself?
Generally no — we connect you with a licensed Rhode Island attorney who can appear at the Tribunal on your behalf and pursue a dismissal or reduction while you go about your day.
Is it worth fighting a small Rhode Island speeding fine?
The fine is the smallest cost. A conviction sits on your record for insurers and counts against you if another ticket comes. Fighting it — especially with a good-driver dismissal available — usually pays for itself.
What if I was cited well over the limit?
High-speed citations carry bigger fines and real suspension exposure at the Tribunal. Those are exactly the cases where negotiating the charge down matters most.
