In South Carolina an accident or moving violation remains on your driving record for 3 years from the incident or date that the ticket was issued. We have however read that a hit and run, or leaving the scene of an accident stays on your SC driving record for at least 5 years. You should also be aware that a hit-and run with property damage only is 6 points on your driver's license.
The South Carolina handbook notes that any licensed driver who is involved as a driver in four reportable accidents in any 24-month period, according to law, may be required to take any portion of the driver's license examination or the license may be recalled by the Department. Failure to do so will result in suspension of the driver's license until he or she takes and passes the required test.
The driver or owner of each vehicle involved in an accident in which there is apparent property damage or injury or death is required to submit verification that the vehicle was properly covered by liability insurance at the time of the accident. The driver must have a representative of the liability insurance company providing this coverage to properly complete the appropriate form. This insurance verification must be completed regardless of whether you were at fault or not. This completed form must be returned to the Department within 15 days of the issuance date.
