Frequently asked questions
Disregarding a signal or stop sign carries 4 points — one of the heavier standard tickets. Two more moving violations could put you in suspension territory.
Frequently. The standard playbook is negotiating with the officer for an amendment to a non-moving or lower-point offense, and we connect you with a South Carolina attorney who does exactly that in the local court.
No — state law effectively bars automated ticketing, so a red light ticket here means an officer says they saw you. That makes the case about testimony and sight lines, which a lawyer can challenge.
Paying is a conviction: 4 points, a record entry insurers surcharge for three years, and — since SC treats moving violations as criminal offenses — more than just a parking-ticket blemish.
