South Carolina drivers know your rights. Many South Carolina residents have been issued a speeding ticket and simply paid the fine, only to find out later that their insurance rates will increase substantially or that their driver’s license was suspended.  You have a right to have an experienced traffic attorney represent you on all South Carolina traffic charges.

It is important to know how many points certain moving violations carry, what the maximum fines are, and how those will affect your driver’s license and your insurance rates. Drivers are unaware of the consequences of pleading guilty to speeding tickets and are not aware that many tickets can be reduced to lesser points and smaller fines that have no impact on their insurance.  Be aware that simply paying the fine online can suspend your driver’s license and, in some cases, create a Habitual Offender suspension, which can lead to years of license suspension and even jail time.

Out-of-state drivers ticketed in South Carolina can also face additional penalties in their home state from so-called Super Speeder Statutes. Georgia and North Carolina residents ticketed for speeding in South Carolina can also face high fines and suspended licenses in those States in addition to South Carolina.  Do not find out the hard way. Call me, C. Austin McDaniel, the experienced traffic attorney, and let me help you save your driver’s license.
