                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

VIOLATION BY PASSENGERS; MISDEMEANOR; EJECTION (§ 46.2-2011.18)

All persons who fail, while using transportation services of a common carrier or
restricted common carrier, to act in an orderly manner so as to permit the safe
operation of a vehicle by the driver, or who fail to obey the directions of any
such driver, operator, or other person in charge to act in such orderly manner,
shall be deemed guilty of a Class 4 misdemeanor. Furthermore, such persons may
be ejected from any such vehicle by any driver, operator, or person in charge of
such vehicle, or by any police officer or other conservator of the peace; and in
case such persons ejected have paid their fares upon such vehicle, they shall
not be entitled to the return of any part of the same. For the refusal of any
such passenger to abide by the direction of the person in charge of such vehicle
as aforesaid, and his consequent ejection from such vehicle, neither the driver,
operator, person in charge, owner, manager, nor common carrier or restricted
common carrier operating such vehicle shall be liable for damages in any court.
