South Carolina Implied Consent Law

As a licensed driver, the South Carolina Implied Consent Law means that you implicitly agree to take a DUI test if an officer requests you to do so. Refusing to submit a breath or BAC test results in a 6-month to one year license suspension. To obtain a restricted license during your suspension, you’ll need to carry SR22 insurance.

Has an officer stopped you for suspicion of driving under the influence? The officer may have asked you to perform a number of field sobriety tests. These tests may have led the officer to ask you to submit a breathalyzer test. The South Carolina Implied Consent Law requires drivers to take a breath or other DUI/DWI test if an officer has reason to suspect driving under the influence. In other words, when you obtain a state driver’s license, you imply that you will agree to provide a DUI test upon an officer’s direction.
