Under current Rhode Island law, what is the most time that can pass between an earlier DUI conviction and a new DUI for the new DUI to count as a second offense?
Correct answer: 10 years
Why
Repeat offenses bring longer license suspensions, jail time and an ignition interlock. The penalty tables in the April 2024 manual say 5 years, but the law changed in 2025, and the law governs. The simplest way to avoid these penalties is never to drive after drinking.
