# Can a Rhode Island speeding ticket be reduced to a non-moving violation?

Often yes. The most common reduction in Rhode Island is to defective equipment, which carries no points and a lower fine. A prosecutor may agree to it when you have a clean record and your lawyer makes a credible case, and it keeps the violation off your insurance.
