Dowson v. Commonwealth
Facts:
Following a jury trial, the
Circuit Court of Loudoun (Virginia) convicted defendant of driving under the
influence of alcohol (DUI) (second or subsequent offense), in violation of Va.
Code Ann. §§ 18.2-266 and 18.2-270(B), and operating a vehicle as an habitual
offender, in violation of Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-357. Defendant appealed.

Holdings:
The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- The Virginia statute on
driving under the influence (DUI), Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-266, makes it
unlawful for any person to drive or operate a vehicle while intoxicated.
The Virginia habitual offender statute, Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-357(A), makes
it unlawful for any person determined or adjudicated an habitual offender
to drive any motor vehicle while his license remains revoked. Va. Code Ann.
§ 46.2-100 defines the terms "operator" and "driver"
to include every person who drives or is in actual physical control of a
vehicle. This statutory definition applies to the habitual offender
statute, and while it does not control Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-266, it serves
as a valuable interpretative guide to the DUI statute.
