What are the Rhode Island State Driving Laws?
Answer:
You must always wear a seatbelt when driving in Rhode Island.
Additionally, any front seat passengers in your vehicle must have a seatbelt on. Children under four years old must be in a car seat in the rear of the vehicle. Also, children under the age of 13 always must be in a car seat, booster seat, or restrained with a seatbelt, depending on their age. Failure to follow the seatbelt law results in a $57 fine. Anyone under the age of 21 must have a helmet on when riding on a motorcycle.

When driving in Rhode Island, always follow the posted speed limit. The speed limit on interstates in Rhode Island is 65 mph. Other roads have speed limits that are chosen by the cities where they are located. Most rural state roads have a 55 mph speed limit. Failure to follow the posted speed limit will result in a ticket and a fine. Only school bus drivers are banned from using cell phones while driving in Rhode Island.

All Rhode Island drivers must yield the right of way to emergency vehicles. If you can, you need to pull to the right hand side of the road and stop. Allow the vehicle to pass, and then you may continue driving. It is illegal to closely follow an emergency vehicle.
