Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • Va. Code Ann. § 19.2-294.1 provides: Whenever any person is charged with a violation of § 18.2-266, the statute prohibiting driving while intoxicated, or any similar ordinances of any county, city, or town and reckless driving growing out of the same act or acts and is convicted of one of these charges, the court shall dismiss the remaining charge.
  • Because Va. Code Ann. § 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 same act or acts means the same act or acts of driving and to contemplate a continuous, uninterrupted course of operation of a motor vehicle, without regard to the crossing of the boundary line between two localities.
