Below is a list of South Carolina traffic offenses and the points assessed for each one. However, it is important to note that if you are licensed in a state other than South Carolina, your state's DMV may assess points differently.
If you are an out-of-state driver, the South Carolina DMV will forward the final disposition on your ticket to the DMV in your state of residence. From there your state's DMV will assess points based on how your state views the charge on the ticket.
