Description
DUI; prior offenses. Provides a definition of "substantially similar" for the purpose of determining when an out-of-state DUI conviction can be used to enhance punishment for a current Virginia DUI offense. Out-of-state laws that criminalize driving (i) while intoxicated, impaired, or under the influence and define intoxication or impairment as 0.08 or (ii) under the influence of, or while impaired by, alcohol, a drug, or alcohol and a drug are deemed to be substantially similar laws.
