OPINION
FAY, Chief Justice.
In this Family Court case, the respondent, a 17V2-year-old juvenile, was adjudicated wayward for having driven a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating beverages, in violation of G.L.1956 (1982 Reenactment) § 31-27-2, as amended by P.L.1985, ch. 150, § 39. The respondent appeals, contending inter alia, that the trial justice erred in denying his motion to suppress the results of his breathalyzer test and in using a previously uncounseled conviction for a similar violation to impose an enhanced sentence. We affirm.
