South Carolina has many golf cart and moped drivers, and both types of vehicles can fall within the state’s DUI law. The statute applies when a person drives a motor vehicle while their ability to do so safely is impaired.
A golf cart is a vehicle with a motor and fits within that definition. Driving one while impaired can therefore result in a DUI charge.
South Carolina previously had an exception that prevented DUI charges for impaired moped operation. That law changed, and drivers can now be charged with DUI while operating a moped.
