Davis v.
Commonwealth
Facts:
Defendant was
convicted in the Circuit Court of Lynchburg (Virginia) of DUI in violation of
Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-266. He had previously pled guilty to speeding in
violation of Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-870. Both charges arose from the same course
of driving. He asserted that the DUI conviction was barred by Va. Code Ann. §
19.2-294.1 because the speeding conviction constituted a conviction for reckless
driving.

Holdings:
The Virginia
Court made the following holding:
- Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-862
provides that a person shall be guilty of reckless driving who drives a
motor vehicle at a speed of twenty miles per hour or more in excess of the
applicable maximum speed limit of forty miles per hour or more. A
conviction of either DUI or reckless driving, whether in simultaneous or
successive prosecutions, requires dismissal of the other charge if the
other charge arose from the same act or acts. Virginia 's double jeopardy
statute, Va. Code Ann. § 19.2-294, prohibits multiple convictions for
separate offenses arising out of same act, except where convictions
obtained in single prosecution. Reckless driving and speeding are separate
and distinct offenses.
