According to the South Carolina Driver's Manual, points one year old are cut in half and after two years they will be wiped out completely. The violation, however, will remain on your SC driving record for 3 years from the date the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (SCDMV) received notification of the ticket.

The SCDMV allows points to be reduced in this was in hopes that a motorist will improve their driving and get no more points so that their driving record can once again be clear of all points.

There is also a provision in the South Carolina law that allows for a driver to reduce points on their license by 4 upon successful completion of an approved defensive driving course. Only one such reduction in a 3 year period is permitted under this provision.
