Legal Question in Traffic Law in Virginia

Re: suspended license h.o

People are no longer being convicted under Va. Code

Sections 46.2-351-355 which was known as the habitual offender law repealed by the state legislature on July 1, 1999.

They are, however, being convicted under other statutes which punish serious repetitive conduct

involving the operation of a motor vehicle such as DUI as exemplified by Va. Code Sec. 18.2-271(C) or

18.2-36.1 and which impose penalties or sanctions

on those convicted similar to what may have been

imposed under the former now repealed habitual offender law.
