Description
Driver's licenses issued to persons convicted of driving under the influence. Prohibits the Department of Motor Vehicles from issuing or reinstating the driver's license of a person who has been convicted of driving under the influence or a related offense during the seven-year period following the conviction, unless the person provides proof that he has in effect a motor vehicle liability insurance policy with limits of $50,000 for injury or death of one person in one accident, $100,000 for injury or death of two or more persons in one accident, and $40,000 for damage to property. These limits are double the minimum limits required generally for motor vehicle liability insurance policies. Amends § 46.2-316 (“Persons convicted or found not innocent of certain offenses; requirement of proof of financial responsibility for certain offenses.”), of the Code of Virginia. View Full Text »
