Traffic Courts in Darlington County
You might be driving into Darlington County to attend a NASCAR race at Darlington Motor Speedway. If so, beware of the speed limit on your way to the track. The city of Darlington’s police department will work to enforce all traffic laws within the town limits; especially during a race weekend. If you are cited by a Darlington Police Officer, you will be summoned to appear in Darlington Municipal Court. This court is near downtown Darlington and is usually crowded as all city police officers bring their tickets to court on one or two dates each month. The officers dispose of their tickets at this time, but the wait is usually long because of the volume of tickets written by the department.
If you are pulled over in Darlington County by SC Highway Patrol Officers or the Darlington County Sheriff’s department, you will be summoned to the Darlington Magistrate Court located at 115 Camp Rd., Darlington, South Carolina. The differences between the two courts are significant. While Darlington Municipal Court is usually crowded and chaotic because of the large number of tickets that are prosecuted on only one or two days each month, Darlington Magistrate Court is open 5 days a week and there are usually only one or two Officers prosecuting tickets at time.
If you miss your court appearance at either court, you will be convicted in your absence and subject to a fine or jail time. A South Carolina traffic attorney experienced defending traffic tickets in Darlington can review your ticket and provide you with several options on how to proceed. It is important to understand the nature of your charges, what agency charged you with violating the law, and in what court you are ordered to appear. Call Nosal & Jeter LLP today for a free consultation and our firm will let you know how we can assist.
