PA/VA
I live in Va. Got first DUI in Pa and will likely get ARD with 30 day suspension. I contacted the VA DMV because for 1st offense here it is 1 year suspension if "convicted" of DUI. So I think my question boils down to: If placed into the ARD program, is that considered a "non-conviction" for a DUI? If so, is that definitely what they would tell the VA DMV?, that I was not convicted of a DUI and just have a 30 day license suspension? If they report that it is a conviction with 30 days suspended license, then VA would still give me 1 year suspension according to the DMV. Please help.....
