R.I. Gen. Laws § 31-11-9

The division of motor vehicles, having good cause to believe that a licensed operator or chauffeur is incompetent or otherwise not qualified to be licensed, may upon written notice of at least five (5) days to the licensee require him or her to submit to an examination. Upon the conclusion of the examination the division of motor vehicles shall take action as may be appropriate and may suspend or revoke the license of the person or permit him or her to retain the license, or may issue a license subject to restrictions as permitted under § 31-10-28. Refusal or neglect of the licensee to submit to the examination shall be grounds for suspension or revocation of his or her license.
