Can the judge tell VASAP what my program should include?

Not usually.

If you’re convicted of DUI in Virginia the law requires you to complete the VASAP program. Unfortunately, VASAP gets to determine the specifics of what your individual program will require.

This is one reason I always suggest making sure to keep your VASAP case manager on your good side. You certainly don’t want to rock the boat and create waves for yourself.
