You're better off taking the bus. Interlock costs like $1250 to install and then there is a $75 monthly admin. fee. In addition to your skyrocketing insurance premium, you will have to pay for SR22 (Drunk Driver insurance) that can run well into the hundreds of dollars per semester. To get your restricted license, you will have to show proof of SR22 and installment of interlock on any vehicle that will be operated by you. You will also have to pay the DMV a $150 reinstatement fee. GOOD LUCK!!!

Well, if you hate taking the bus every day, you shouldn't have been driving after drinking, retard. What, did you think there you be no punishment for your "mistake?" If you have to get an interlock installed, it probably not your first offense...didn't you learn the first time, man. Have fun shelling out the $$ for driving...ha ha ha...you get what you deserve...

Hah.. you'd be surprised at the number of DUI/DWIs in Fairfax County. Seems like a birthright for people in this area-- I'm included. Sucks that you have to get an interlock installed, but it's bad enough we have to pay the shitty civil remedial fees.

After I'm done with my classes I'm moving to somewhere where I don't need to drive for a while!

Actually for DWI there is actually a new form to be filed instead of the SR-22, the FR-44. This applies to new and old convictions alike.
From this website: http://www.dmv.state.va.us/webdoc/commercial/insurance/certifications.asp



Financial Responsibility Certifications

SR-22/SR26 Financial Responsibility Certification

SR-22 certification is required for the following convictions

* Unsatisfied judgements
* Driver license suspension as a result of a conviction for:

o Voluntary or involuntary manslaughter resulting from the operation of a motor vehicle.
o Perjury, making a false affidavit to DMV regarding the registration of motor vehicles, or making a false statement on any driver's license application.
o Any crime punishable as a felony under the motor vehicle law or any felony in the commission of which a motor vehicle is used.
o Failure of a driver of a motor vehicle, involved in an accident resulting in death or injury to another person, to stop and disclose his identity at the scene of the accident.
o Operating or permitting the operation, for a second time, of a passenger automobile for transportation of passengers for rent or for hire, without a license.

* Uninsured motor vehicle suspension


SR-22 liability insurance coverage limits are:

* Bodily injury/death of one person $25,000
* Bodily injury/death of two or more persons $50,000
* Property damage $20,000


FR-44/FR-46 Financial Responsibility Certification

FR-44 certification is required on or after January 1, 2008 for the following convictions:

* Maiming while under the influence
* Driving while under the influence of intoxicants or drugs
* Driving while the driver's license has been forfeited for a conviction, or finding of not innocent in the case of a juvenile
* Violation of the provisions of any federal law or law of any other state or any valid local ordinance similar to the above


FR-44 liability insurance coverage limits are double the SR-22 insurance coverage limits:

* Bodily injury/death of one person $50,000
* Bodily injury/death of two or more persons $100,000
* Property damage $40,000


The new FR-44 double minimum coverage requirements apply to customers convicted of the above violations on or after January 1, 2008, as well as customers previously convicted of these violations that are required to file an SR-22 certification beyond December 31, 2008

If you reside outside Virginia, you may submit a letter on your insurance provider's letterhead stating the double minimum coverage amounts.

DMV will suspend the driving privilege of anyone who does not comply with this requirement by filing an FR-44 certification prior to January 1, 2009.

i had a virginia drivers license and then moved to california, where i then got a california DL. i lived in CA for about 4 years and got a few traffic ticketts. no drunk driving or anything like that. just a few parking violations and 2 speeding ticketts. i came back to virginia and got pulled over for a minor violation and the cop informed me that my DL was suspended in CA and my Virginia DL had expired. ge gave me a tickket for driving without a valid DL. the judge later dismissed it. i contacted the state of CA and was told that my ticketts were a total of over $4,000 (everything in LA is expensive) and virginia will not allow me to renew my DL until i repay my CA ticketts. now i dont drive at all. but i pay over $1200 a month in taxi fare, just to get to work. theres no buses in my area and i cant move. my question is this. is it possable to get a virginia resticted DL if my DL is suspended in another state due to unpaid ticketts. iv never had a DUI or anything like that. iv searched the internet but only find info on DUI cases. please help

I had an accident 3 years ago and did not have insurance. My license was suspended for a year. Then I found out that because I have not paid the judgement, which started at $8000.00, and is now almost $20,000.00, in full. I offered to make payments but they were refused by the Lawyer. Now my license is suspended until june of 2010. Is there any way I can get a restricted license for going to work?

I won't need to petition the Judge for anything. But if I wait till June 2010, I won't have to pay a penny towards the judgement and I will get my license back with no restrictions. I want to pay the judgement but I cannot pay it in a lump sum.

Wow lots of trolls on here offering no particular use or relevant info on here at all --just piling on it seems. Really nothing better

Ignition interlock sucks but doesn't have to be that bad. It is not $1,250 to install as someone incorrectly stated in this thread. In Virgina it cost about $125 to install. There is a $70 or so monthly monitoring fee. Drager Safety is the company northern Virginia uses with out of the way locations in Manassas and Springfield. If you good with it for 6 months you should be able go back to the court to petition for removal. Be good.

My question was if you do have a restricted in VA and needed to move just over the river into DC can you get a restricted DC license?

That gets tricky. Because as far as DC cops can tell, your license is suspended.

DC can suspend your license to drive in DC, even if you are not suspended in the state where your license is issued. DC points do not transfer to VA, but if you accumulate enough points in DC, they can suspend you. You still have a valid driver's license where it is issued, and everywhere else, but in DC you are not allowed to drive.

So I'm thinking that a VA court can only give you permission to drive in VA, and once you cross a state line, since VA has suspended your license, you are shit out of luck.

But, we all know that people live in VA and work in DC or MD, or live in DC and work in VA or MD, and so on. So has there been some recent changes to accomodate that? That part is grey, at least to me.

As far as I know, and I only know from experience about 16 years ago, if VA suspends your license, it is suspended on just about all 50 states' computers, and your restricted license is only good within VA. (of course, cops in close-by jurisdictions may respect the court order and give you a pass.)

The only reason I'm not sure is because DC cops don't need to follow orders written by a Fairfax County, Virginia Judge. They can only follow orders written by a DC judge. I'm not sure what happens in this situation, but I have a feeling VA judges' orders only mean anything inside Virginia.

I guess someone with a Maryland Driver's License who has been suspended by a VA judge could shed partial light. Is that the same as a DC suspension, where that means you cannot drive in VA, while your license is still valid everywhere else?

I guess this is why we need globalism. There's too many governments and jurisdictions. It would just be so much easier if you are just fucked everywhere, without any grey areas or confusion.

maybe not. i have zero record and my car was parked when the officer arrested me. I have done everything right, i was simply moving my car to a place where it wouldn't get towed that night so i wouldn't drive home and got pulled over. i now have to have an interlock for 2 years. it SUCKS. not everyone intentionally makes mistakes, but sometimes people do. i also wonder about renting a car, as I have a fair amount of traveling to do myself.

Or do what my friend does, and drive regardless of the Suspension lol. Don't do that though, because even if you get by with it for a while, eventually it'll catch up to you. My best advice is to contact a lawyer, and discuss it with them. You really don't want to get caught in the middle of a mess with this, because the last thing that you need is to think that everything was taken care of, then before you know it you're pulled over and being informed that you're driving on a Suspended/Revoked. It happens.

In Virgina you get an actual DMV issued license now even when restricted. Mine has a scarlet R on it and that's the only difference visually. With a restricted when driving you always have to have your actual DMV license AND your green court papers that spell out the particulars of your restricted license. I.e. if you do get pulled over on your way to work- you show the officer your DMV license and your green court papers that say you're authorized driving to/ from work.

My lawyer had said with the DMV issued license- I'm only restricted in Virginia. When traveling I've been able to rent a car in other states without an issue. A couple months ago I went into DC and rented a car at Union Station for a trip up to NJ. My understanding is that is actually legal. But I'm no lawyer and we are all anon voices on a message board-- so do your own due diligence.

DUI sucks not doubt. Once you're arrested its nearly impossible to not be convicted; the best a lawyer can do is hope to plead down the penalties but so much of that is statutory lawyers can have less impact on that too.

You must have had a very high BAC to get 2 years interlock on your first time DUI. Be good. Do everything they say to do and don't get another. Don't drive on a suspended/ revoked or restricted outside your authorized items. The penalties in Virgina are too high. Next steps are mandatory jail. On a second DUI you'll do at least 10 days in jail -that is statutory by law.

As dumb as I was I have been convicted of two DUIs in the span of about 4 months. My first was in NC on vacation, I paid the fees, did some time, and wont have a license there unless I go back to court in Oct 2009 (I won't, no reason). Then a month later I just told VA that I "misplaced" my license and drove drunk, getting another DUI. MD, NC, DC, WV, and VA are supposed to immediately share their records with another, but this does not happen about 50% of the time (heard from two lawyers). So VA did not find out about NC, I have a restricted with an interlock and will be off probation in Feb 2010 with a real license. I have spent thousands of dollars in fines, lawyers, missed work, the interlock, DMV fees, and required therapy, but shit happens and we all have to learn from our mistakes. The legal area is so cluttered up that a lot of information is not passed from jurisdiction to jurisdiction (sometimes for the better). Good luck to anyone with a DUI on their hands, just remember that a year is really not that long of a time.

There a ton of companies online that can help you out with that information. My recommendation is get on some of the legal forums and ask around.
Expert Lawis a good one. You can also contact some companies that deal specifically in sr22 insurance quotes and get some info. I think it's a little better than listening to people tell you to get in your car and drive...

I new a guy that used his moms address out of state and got a license. He had to drive 6 hrs to the DMV in her area but it worked. He was a hunter so he got a regular picture ID in the state where he lived to renew his hunting license. I don't think he ever got pulled over though and don't know what would have happened if he did.

My question that no one seems to have an answer for is, if you get one year suspended liscence and one year restricted liscense pending the interlock being installed, can you just not get it and have a 2 year suspended liscence instead and get your liscence back after the 2 years is up? Or do you absolutely HAVE to get the interlock system? Because not only am i saving gas money by not driving but my insurance as of right now doesnt know about my DUI and wont untill i have to submit that SR22 for the interlock system so it just seems like waiting an extra year to drive instead of having the interlock system installed would be financially smarter especially for a young private in the US army.

In your case you would have to petition to the DMV for restricted driving privileges. You will have to show proof that you are TRYING to pay the fines owed. The courts can only take jurisdiction if it becomes criminal so they have no right to interfere with DMV restrictions. Go to the DMV Website and search for obtaining a restricted operators license and follow the procedure they recommend. DO NOT involve the county courts at all because if you do they can impose jail time or fines in additions to what you already owe to CA.

The best way to understand what is needed for you to get your unrestricted license is to see your compliance summary from the DMV. If it was ordered by a country judge to install an ignition interlock system then you will have to eventually. There is no statute of limitation on that judgment. The one year suspension is a punishment the one year of restricted driving privilege is allowing you time to get the interlock system. If you do not have the ignition interlock before your restricted privilege expires then you may be found noncompliant of a court order and could face criminal action. If you currently have a license and have not reported it to your insurance provider then you are committing fraud and will be punished accordingly if or when you are pulled over which could include more fines and jail time if you had a suspended sentence.

For insurance, you need an FR 44. The SR 22 is out dated. All it states is that your covered for 2 times the stae minimum liability. Your Insurance company must file it with the DMV. Not sure about the interlock device, I wasn't sentenced to one. But, I know one of my fellow ASAP-ers gave up his license for the year, in lieu of device installation. I'd check with a lawyer. Should be some free legal beagles in the US Army that can help

Okay, obviously every fuck who keeps posting "you got what you deserved" has never attended any sort of fucking college parties or anything. As a matter of fact, society probably hates you all for being such assholes, so you should just stick with your ill-informed opinions that follow everything the retarded MADD douche nozzles shove down your throats and shut the fuck up.
Now, I got pulled over FIRST OFFENSE at a god damned McDonalds drive through for "hitting a curb." Mind you, I was ORDERING AT THE BOX when the dick head pig decided to come out of hiding and block my car in and commence his bullshit. I live in NM, so it is now state law that I HAVE to have an interlock for first offense. This is bullshit. Im a broke college kid working my ass off as is to have the things I do and pay for schooling, yet the government seems to think I owe them more. Just for some input, I say put an interlock on your car, talk to your probation officer for some government assistance in paying for your monthly premiums (which they will do, so it's not such a burden) then just go buy a motorcycle and drive that shit around. It's cheaper to do, cops dont pull you over as often because there are so many counts of cops killing motorcyclists in chases, and they dont want to take that chance. You dont need a motorcycle license to ride one, just insurance and the title to get it registered, then if anyone at the interlock place asks you about this other registered vehicle, tell them it's a garage project that isn't even street legal or able to be ridden at the moment, and they'll just turn their heads the other way. Just dont ride like an idiot and you'll be fine. All the government wants is your money so they can pay to have ridiculous punishments enforced on the citizens living under their fascist iron fist, they dont care about anyone's "well being." You are just a statistic for the books to them, nothing else. Fuck the stupid assholes who cant even name more than two types of beer, let alone tell you anything other than what MADD or their local government tells them about alcohol/drunk driving. You'll be fine. Hope this helps, since everyone else on here is either an ill-informed jackass or just wants to argue with said jackass.

Nope, you are so wrong about two things. Practically all interlock devices are free to install. You just pay a monthly fee that ranges anywhere from 75-100 a month.

FR44 is what your insurance needs to file with DMV for a DUI - not SR22. SR22 is for a different, "lower", set of offences.

Other than the guy above, who reminded me that getting pulled driving on a suspended license carries a mandatory jail sentence, this is the best idea on this entire post.
No thanks to all you haters & judgmental douchebags on this post. Get a life, a job, and some friends, and maybe you could afford to go out for a drink!

Seriously? How many accidents do you get in a year. I can easily go a year with out people crashing into me. In fact the last time somebody hit me was 1987 and I was the one who demanded a police report.

If you get a DUI you won't be able to use the drive thru at the Fairfax Circle Arthur Treacher's. Please don't try. it is for vehicles only. Please use the counter to order fish and chips and maybe an orange Fanta.

in many areas of fairfax bicycling is a well viable alternative for those who are not disabled - (there are ares of fairfax that are too "back woods" for it to be practical)

i knew a guy who did it and swore by it: freedom, healthy, enjoyable ride. he didn't live very far from a main road though.
