How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding the trial court erred in considering defendant’s out-of-state conviction a prior offense because it was not based on a statute that was “substantially similar” to Virginia’s drunk-driving statute
• finding statutes not “substantially similar” because, unlike Virginia’s statute, out-of-state drunk-driving statute gave rise to a conclusive presumption
