This may depend on how West Va enters your information into their DMV system and where you got your DUI. But it would be easier if you transfer your license to VA BEFORE you WVa license expires.

The short answer is yes. When you’re convicted of a DUI in Virginia your privilege to operate any “motor vehicle” is suspended. As a result, you are prohibited from operating any vehicle with an engine including a boat.

You do not have to be convicted but sometimes this is the way that the probation officer will do it as long as you have let them know about the arrest. You are technically not in violation until you are convicted if the arrest is reported to probation as well.

You just need to own up to it and if there is something outstanding get it taken care of. Hire a lawyer to go with you if possible and let them deal with getting you the best outcome possible. Good luck.
3 DUIs 6 years ago. Judge in Albemarle won't reinstate me. Army/Iraq veteran! I already petitioned and did pretrial with VASAP. Judge said no but that I could reset the docket as she didn't even know I'd be there that day.

Your outcome will depend on the facts of the case. Typically the bac is the biggest factor but a good driving record helps.

I'm not sure what you're asking. It looks like 12/15/18 is a date and not a code. 18.2-266 is the Virginia code for DWI.

You will want to contact an experienced lawyer in the court where you got charged.
Your outcome will be a function of your past record, the facts of your case and whether or not there are legal defenses.

I’m 18 years old and had an open container in public when a cop saw me put it under my jacket and throw it. He made me admit guilt and now I have to appear in court next week. He mentioned a first offender program, but if I don’t do that and just plead guilty, does it go on my record forever?... View More

It's a criminal misdemeanor and you can't expunged those if you're found guilty. Even the first offender program would need to be discussed depending on the wording of the question on a background check. Get a good lawyer to help you they may be able to do better.

You’ll need to get the name of the person who drew the blood from a discovery response from the Commonwealth Attorney. Thereafter you’ll need to check to see if that person is qualified under 18.2-268.5.
