Holdings:
The Virginia
Court made the following holding:
- The bar of Va. Code Ann.
§ 19.2-294.1, requiring the merger of certain vehicular offenses,
encompasses offenses which, though separate and distinct, grow out of the
same act or acts. Because § 19.2-294.1 relates to matters of a penal nature
and is remedial in character, it must be construed strictly against the
Commonwealth and favorably to the accused. The language, "the same
act or acts," means the same act or acts of driving and contemplates
a continuous, uninterrupted course of operation of a motor vehicle,
without regard to the crossing of the boundary line between two localities.
- The two offenses subject
to Va. Code Ann. § 19.2-294.1, driving under the influence and reckless
driving, are "separate and distinct" violations. Nevertheless,
the legislature intended that a conviction of one offense precludes
conviction of the other, whenever both grow from the same continuous,
uninterrupted course of operation of a motor vehicle. Thus, the statute is
applicable where the two offenses grow out of the same act or acts of
driving. It is the commonality of the underlying offending conduct, the
continuous, uninterrupted operation of a motor vehicle, that invokes the
preclusive effect of the statute.
