BRAY, Judge.

Sherman L. Wilson (defendant) was convicted in a bench trial for driving after being declared an habitual offender,, a second or subsequent offense, in violation of Code § 46.2-357. On appeal, he contends the Commonwealth failed to prove the requisite prior conviction. We disagree and affirm the trial court.
