DUI License Consequences in Clemson, SC

What Happens to My License If I Get a DUI in Clemson?

In South Carolina if you are convicted of driving under the influence, or driving with an unlawful amount of alcohol in your system, you can be subject to both criminal and administrative penalties, including fines, jail time, and license suspension. Usually, the fines, jail time and other penalties you can receive usually depend on the facts and circumstances of your case and the severity of the offense, including the percentage of alcohol in your blood, whether it is your second DUI, whether you were involved in an accident, or whether you caused serious injuries. Remember also that South Carolina has an implied consent law which means that you automatically consent to a test of your breath, blood, or urine after you have been arrested for suspicion of DUI. While you have a right to refuse this test, doing so will subject you to additional penalties, including license suspension.
