Drivers face steep insurance hikes under new reform
South Carolina drivers face higher recoupment fees for speeding tickets accidents and moving violations from the three year window. A DUI in the past three years could raise the recoupment to 1350 annually, while three speeding violations can lift it to 900. One speeding violation can raise it to 150 annually.
