Chesterfield VA 18.2-272 Driving While Suspended DISMISSED
A DUI conviction will result in a temporary suspension of full driving privileges. Our lawyers represented a client who was accused of driving while having a suspended driver’s license due to a prior DUI conviction pursuant to Va. Code 18.2-272. An 18.2-272 violation – as it is commonly known – is a serious driver’s license offense. This type of violation will automatically trigger a loss of driving privileges for an additional 12 months with no option for restricted driving privileges if convicted. Judges will also frequently impose an active jail sentence if convicted. In this case, we prepared various pieces of mitigating evidence and were successful with various motions that eventually led to the case being dismissed.
