Cook v. Commonwealth
Facts:
Defendant was convicted in
the Circuit Court of Richmond (Virginia) of DUI in violation of Va. Code Ann. §
18.2-266. He had previously pled guilty to speeding in violation of Va. Code
Ann. § 46.2-870. Both charges arose from the same course of driving. He
asserted that the DUI conviction was barred by Va. Code Ann. § 19.2-294.1 because
the speeding conviction constituted a conviction for reckless driving.

Holdings:
The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-862
provides that a person shall be guilty of reckless driving who drives a
motor vehicle at a speed of twenty miles per hour or more in excess of the
applicable maximum speed limit of forty miles per hour or more. Under the plain and unambiguous
terms of Va. Code Ann. § 19.2-294.1, one may not be charged and convicted
of both DUI and reckless driving. A conviction of either DUI or reckless
driving, whether in simultaneous or successive prosecutions, requires
dismissal of the other charge if the other charge arose from the same act
or acts. Virginia 's double jeopardy statute, Va. Code Ann. § 19.2-294,
prohibits multiple convictions for separate offenses arising out of same
act, except where convictions obtained in single prosecution. Reckless
driving and speeding are separate and distinct offenses.
