Counts convictions, not points
Rhode Island
Rhode Island law counts convictions for listed moving violations: four convictions on separate occasions within 18 months can bring a fine of up to $1,000, required driver retraining and community service, and a court-ordered suspension or revocation.
Other consequences
Only listed offenses count, including disobeying traffic devices, speeding, unsafe lane use, following too closely, failing to stop or yield at stop and yield signs, and aggressive driving.
Other consequences
After a revocation ends, the driver must petition the court, which holds a hearing, and must show proof of financial responsibility before the license is reinstated.

What this page does not do
- It does not read your driving record. Only Rhode Island Division of Motor Vehicles can confirm your current total.
- It does not predict a suspension: levels count only convictions inside each window, and the agency decides.
- It does not cover commercial (CDL) disqualifications or DUI suspensions, which follow separate rules.
