Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

Va. Code Ann. § 19.2-294 (1990), which bars two convictions for the "same act," is no bar to convictions for both driving under the influence and driving without a license.
Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-266 (Supp. 1992) provides that it shall be unlawful for any person to drive or operate any motor vehicle while his or her blood alcohol concentration exceeds a prescribed standard. The case law interpreting and applying this statute consistently and emphatically holds that the terms "drive" and "operate" are not synonymous. "Driving" an automobile means putting it in motion, but "operating" a vehicle has a broader meaning. "Operating" not only includes the process of moving the vehicle from one place to another but also includes starting the engine, or manipulating the mechanical or electrical equipment of the vehicle without actually putting the car in motion.
