Asked 6 months ago
Driving without insurance in South Carolina can result in severe penalties. If found guilty, the consequences may include fines, suspension of your driver's license, and vehicle impoundment. First-time offenders may face a fine of up to $550 or a 30-day suspension of their license and registration until proof of insurance is provided. Subsequent offenses result in harsher penalties, with potential fines reaching $1,000, possible license and registration suspension, and mandatory SR-22 insurance filing. It's important to note that driving without insurance not only puts you at risk but also endangers others on the road.
