1. ““The narrow issue now presented is whether a person, whose license to drive a motor vehicle has been revoked by the Commissioner of the Division of Motor Vehicles, based upon convictions on two offenses of reckless driving within twelve consecutive months, can raise the question of the validity of the judgments in a proceeding instituted under section 46-424 of the Code of 1950, where the judgments are valid on their face, and where there is no question as to the identity of the person involved. Our answer to this is in the negative. (Page 561) ****### “There is no review under section 46-424 where the revocation was mandatory, except on the question of identity.” (Page 563) Morrison v. Commonwealth, 190 Va. 527 , 58 S. E. (2d) 30 ; Law v. Commonwealth, 171 Va. 449 , 199 S. E. 516 .”
