COLOMBIA, SC (WMBF) – The South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles will hold the 2021 Driver’s Suspension Eligibility Week next month for drivers with a suspended license for a variety of reasons.
According to SCDMV information, the suspension eligibility week will take place from March 15th to 19th. During this week, licensed drivers in South Carolina who have lost their driving privileges due to certain suspensions can reduce or clear the remaining time of their suspension.
Agency officials said drivers with the following types of suspension are eligible for the program:
- Excessive points for someone under 18
- Operate an unlicensed taxi
- Operate an uninsured vehicle that they did not own
- Operate or allow another person to operate an uninsured vehicle
- Driving under suspension, excluding conviction for alcohol or drugs
Drivers who qualify for the program must complete the Driver Suspension Eligibility Form and visit an SCDMV branch during the week of eligibility.
This program is available only one week a year. Only drivers who compensate for all suspensions can apply for a license. Depending on the type of suspension, drivers may be required to pass knowledge and road tests before receiving a new license, according to SCDMV.
