Penalties for Speeding
If you receive a traffic citation in South Carolina, you may encounter the following consequences:
- Fines: The amount of a traffic ticket fine varies based on the nature of the offense. For example, if you were caught speeding, the fine is calculated based on how far you violated the speed limit. The fine for violating the speed limit by 10 miles ranges from $15 to $25, while breaking the speed restriction by 25 miles can result in fines of up to $200. Reckless driving offenses can result in fines of up to $445 or a 30-day prison sentence.
- Points on Your Driving Record: The accumulation of points on your driving record is contingent on the specific violation. Changing lanes without signaling can result in a two-point penalty, while dangerous driving can result in a six-point penalty.
- License Suspension or Revocation: If you receive twelve points for driving infractions, your driver's license will be suspended for three months. A ban of up to six months could be imposed if you reach twenty points.
- Court-Mandated Traffic School: A judge may order you to attend traffic school or a defensive driving course, depending on the nature of the offense. Fortunately, in South Carolina, online defensive driving courses are available, providing a faster and more convenient alternative to traditional in-person sessions.
- Prison Sentences: In cases where reckless driving leads to a fatal accident, the penalties can be severe. Felony DUI and vehicular manslaughter charges can result in prison sentences of up to 25 years.
