An out-of-state visitor arrested for DUI may face suspension of driving privileges in South Carolina. The effects may also extend to the person’s home-state license.
The video discusses interstate communication between DMVs about convictions and suspensions. A South Carolina DUI conviction or suspension may be reported to the state that issued the driver’s license.
The home state may then impose consequences under its own law. A South Carolina out-of-state DUI attorney should consider those additional requirements when evaluating the case.
