I Am From Out of State and Was Charged With DUI: How Can You Help?

Answer

An out-of-state DUI can affect both the privilege to drive in South Carolina and the license issued by the home state. The video explains that DMVs share information about convictions and suspensions, so representation should consider consequences in both states.

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.
