I am licensed and live in Virginia. I was convicted of driving while intoxicated out of state. What will Virginia do to me?
The Virginia Department of Motor vehicles will send you a letter to tell you that your license is revoked. Then almost everything that a Virginia DWI conviction would require will be required of you: license revocation, restricted license, ASAP, education and treatment, probation, and ignition interlock.
On the other hand, there’s no additional fines or jail time, but there are plenty of fees.
Virginia Code § 18.2-271.1(D)
Any person who has been convicted in another state of the violation of a law of such state substantially similar to the provisions of § 18.2-266 or subsection A of § 46.2-341.24, and whose privilege to operate a motor vehicle in this Commonwealth is subject to revocation under the provisions of § 46.2-389 and subsection A of § 46.2-391, may petition the general district court of the county or city in which he resides that he be given probation and assigned to a program as provided in subsection A of this section and that, upon entry into such program, he be issued an order in accordance with subsection E of this section. If the court finds that such person would have qualified therefor if he had been convicted in this Commonwealth of a violation of § 18.2-266 or subsection A of § 46.2-341.24, the court may grant the petition and may issue an order in accordance with subsection E of this section as to the period of license suspension or revocation imposed pursuant to § 46.2-389 or subsection A of § 46.2-391. Such order shall be conditioned upon the successful completion of a program by the petitioner. If the court subsequently finds that such person has violated any of the conditions set forth by the court, the court shall dispose of the case as if no program had been entered and shall notify the Commissioner, who shall revoke the person’s license in accordance with the provisions of § 46.2-389 or subsection A of § 46.2-391. A copy of the order granting the petition or subsequently revoking or suspending such person’s license to operate a motor vehicle shall be forthwith sent to the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Where do I get a restricted license?
In the general district court (GDC) in the city or county where you live.
You will need to report to VASAP – the Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program. Essentially, they will treat you just like you received a driving under the influence conviction in Virginia.
