Illegal U-Turn charges in South Carolina
An illegal U-turn is charged for turning where prohibited by signage, at certain intersections, or where visibility is limited. Many drivers are cited without realizing a U-turn was restricted there. 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.
