Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

• Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-817(C) is clearly intended to enhance punishment for a violation of Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-817(A) when such offense is aggravated by specified conduct, coincidentally a species of reckless driving. Thus, application of the provision is expressly limited to persons convicted of a misdemeanor under Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-817(A).
• Violations of Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-817 do not constitute a reckless driving offense.
• With respect to the endangerment of persons sufficient to constitute a felonious violation of Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-817(B), a manifest purpose of the statute is to protect the public against a driver eluding police so as to endanger a person.
