If you think automobile insurance will
cover this reimbursement charge, think
again. The Virginia Beach code prohibits
coverage from Insurance companies by mandating:
“No policy or contract of bodily
injury or property damage liability insurance
relating to the ownership, maintenance,
or use of a motor vehicle, engine, train,
motorboat, or watercraft issued, or issued
for delivery, in the commonwealth shall
ensure against any civil liability under
this section.”
This
city ordinance is one more reason why
it is a mistake to get behind the controls
of a car, or a boat, or a train intoxicated.
Not only are you looking at serving time
in jail, losing your license, and paying
a large fine plus court costs, you also
expose yourself to a hefty bill for emergency
services provided by the city.
