About South Carolina traffic laws
South Carolina's DMV halves your points after the first year, but reaching 12 active points triggers a suspension. Magistrate and municipal courts handle citations, and points are assessed only after conviction.
How points & your license work in South Carolina
South Carolina adds demerit points to your record on conviction. Speeding is 2–6 points by severity, and 12 active points triggers a South Carolina suspension; points are cut in half after 12 months and to one-third after two years. The South Carolina DMV suspension trigger of 12 points means a single avoidable conviction can push you closer to losing your license.
