Excessive Speeding (20+ mph over) charges in South Carolina
Excessive speeding covers driving roughly 20 mph or more over the limit, which many states treat far more harshly than ordinary speeding. In some states it crosses into criminal 'reckless' or 'aggravated' speeding territory with mandatory penalties. In South Carolina, a conviction adds demerit points toward the South Carolina DMV suspension threshold of 12 points, and the conviction follows you to your insurer.
