We now offer Defensive Driving Courses!
These courses are an excellent way for drivers to reduce the number of points they have accumulated on their driving record.
Section 56-1-770 of the South Carolina Code of Laws states:
"Any driver who has accumulated points under the provisions of this article shall have the number of his points reduced by four upon proving to the satisfaction of the Department of Motor Vehicles that he has completed the National Safety Council's "Defensive Driving Course" or its equivalent, if the course is completed after the points have been assessed."
Courses are offered on the following dates:
- Wed 9/18 and Thurs 9/19, 6-10 pm
For information about any of these courses, please email or call Palmetto South Driving School at (843) 319-7725.
Do you know how driving points are computed?
Section 56-1-750 of the SC Code of Laws:
"In computing the total number of points charged to any person after a particular violation, those accrued as a result of violations which have occurred during the twelve months' period including and immediately preceding the last violation shall be counted at their full value, those accrued from twelve to twenty-four months preceding the last violation shall be counted at one half their established value and those resulting from violations which occurred more than twenty-four months prior to the last violation shall not be counted."
