46.2-396)

When any person is convicted of reckless driving as provided for in §§
46.2-853 through 46.2-864 and the reckless driving was the cause of the death of
any person, then in addition to any other penalties provided by law, the
driver’s license of the person may be suspended by the court for no more
than twelve months.  In case of conviction the court may order the surrender of
the license to the court where it shall be disposed of in accordance with the
provisions of § 46.2-398.  If the person so convicted has not obtained a
license required by this chapter or is a nonresident, the court may direct in
the judgment of conviction that the person shall not drive any motor vehicle in
the Commonwealth for a period not to exceed twelve months. The fact of the
suspension shall not be admissible as evidence in any related civil proceeding.
