State moves to catch uninsured drivers with DMV database
South Carolina requires insurers to electronically report to the DMV when policies are canceled before expiration. The system aims to flag uninsured motorists, issue $5 daily fines, and suspend registrations if coverage isn’t renewed within 45 days, with possible license suspensions to deter evasion. Critics note risks like VIN entry errors and call for stricter reporting and faster proof of insurance.
