Peterson v. Commonwealth
Facts:
Defendant said his two
offenses grew out of the same act or acts of driving, and one charge should
have been dismissed under Va. Code Ann. § 19.2-294.1. The appellate court held
the offenses of which defendant was convicted were covered by § 19.2-294.1,
under which, when he was convicted of one of the charges, the remaining charge
had to be dismissed if the offenses grew out of the same act or acts.

Holdings:
The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- The two offenses subject
to Va. Code Ann. § 19.2-294.1, driving under the influence (DUI) 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.
