Frequently Asked Questions
- DUI and DWI
- How Does the Ignition Interlock Work in Northern Virginia if I am Convicted of a DWI in Fairfax with a High Breath Test or 2nd Offense?
- More questions about Ignition Interlock in Fairfax County and Northern Virginia in General: Where is your SmartStart dealer? Merrifield? Do you know where their other Northern Virginia locations are? Were you able to get it installed right away? Did you have to go to ASAP and they scheduled the appointment, or could you just call smartstart once you had the Court order?
- I've been hearing a lot about a program called DADSS - what is it?
- Can I beat a show cause summons due to a clerical error? I was convicted of a second DUI and sentenced to 180 days of jail with 160 suspended, and the 20 days being mandatory. I decided to pull my time on weekends, and when I registered for jail, the captain told me that I'd be pulling 10 days, because it was a misdemeanor it was explained to me that I'd be pulling day for a day. I fulfilled my 10 days and have now been issued a show cause as to why i didn't pull the remaining 10. After contacting the jail, i've found out that the court did not put MANDATORY on the order for the jail. Do i have a case for dismissal because of this error on the court's part?
- I was recently convicted of a DUI in Virginia and received a restricted drivers license. I have to show proof of FR44 insurance. My current policy is within the limits of the FR44 guidelines. Can I bring my policy into the DMV and will that be sufficient, or does it have to come from my insurance carrier? I really would hate to contact them if I do not have to, for the obvious reason of raised rates.
- My sister got arrested for a DUI and accidentally gave them the wrong drivers license. What can she do?

I have now received a letter from my ASAP probation officer stating that I have to come in for a monitoring meeting. Now if my probation was only a year then why am I being asked to go see her? Another problem is I received a driving on revoked 3 weeks ago in a town about 3 hours from where i live. Can I be violated and am I still on probation if I'm being called into her office?? Help please - I'm worried and scared as I thought I was only on probation for a year. - I was charged with a DUI with a BAC of .15. There was no accident, no children in the car, and it is my first offense. I live in Loudoun County, Virginia. Is it possible to get my charge reduced to a .14 to avoid going to jail for the mandatory 5 days?
- First DWI with child - can I avoid charges? I got arrested for DWI in Loudoun VA, and I had my child in the car. It is the first time this ever happened to me. I had 2 beers 2 hours prior to arrest, and my BAC was 0.11. I want to have all charges dropped - how should I proceed?
