Non driving offenses in Virginian can cost you your license
Prior to 2019, if you had unpaid court costs and fines to the state of Virginia, you would lose your driving privileges. This hurts those who have been released from prison and have not yet found a job to earn money to pay back the fines.
This law was repealed, but there are others that can keep you off the road. Virginians can lose the right to drive for other offenses unrelated to being behind the wheel.
