Common Moving Violations
A county law enforcement officer can issue a citation if you are caught doing any of the following:
- Driving between 10 and 25 mph over the posted speed limit
- Rolling through a stop sign
- Driving on a suspended license
- Following another vehicle too closely
- Driving a vehicle that is unsafe or inoperable
- Carrying an open alcohol container
- Operating an uninsured vehicle
- Driving on a suspended license
- Drinking while driving
- Failing to obey a traffic light
- Recklessly driving or operating a vehicle without a license
Fines and Penalties
A Barnwell County speeding ticket can be costly, especially if you are clocked at 25 mph or more over the limit. Even five miles over is a strict offense, and fines range anywhere from $80 to over $400. Reckless drivers usually receive tougher penalties, as do suspended drivers who often face jail time and hundreds of dollars in fines.
If you are a repeat offender, you should seriously consider an attorney. An alcohol-related violation, for instance, may start with a $200 fine. However, your fee may double on a second offense.
What Goes on Your Permanent Record?
A Barnwell County traffic ticket can seriously impact your driving record. South Carolina utilizes a point system between two and six, and a small infraction can easily compound.
Suspension can begin at 12 points, so a two-point hit can be serious if you already have 10 points on your record.
Miscellaneous Costs
Most traffic citations will cause your insurance premium to go up. Plus, if you are a resident of another state, a court appearance is a major hassle.
