The South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles has scheduled the 2012 Driver Suspension Eligibility Week for March 5-9, 2012 in all offices across the state and in six designated DMV offices on Saturday, March 10.
AIKEN, S.C.,None — The program is designed for drivers with certain license suspensions who have lost their driving privileges for suspensions included in the program may be able to reduce or clear the remaining time of their suspension. The program will assist the following types of suspended drivers:
· Drivers under 18 years of age that are suspended for excessive points.
· Those suspended for operating an unlicensed taxi or vehicle.
· Drivers suspended for operating an uninsured vehicle that they did not own.
· Those suspended for operating or allowing operation of an uninsured vehicle.
· Drivers suspended for driving under suspension, excluding alcohol- or drug- related convictions.
In order to qualify for the program, drivers must meet all of the conditions of their suspensions. All fees must be paid and any required insurance must be filed. If a driver has more than one suspension, DMV will recalculate the suspension time. Drivers with suspensions not covered by the program will still need to serve that suspension.
To apply for amnesty, drivers must complete the Driver Suspension Eligibility Application, Form DL-601 and visit a SCDMV office during Driver Suspension Eligibility Week. Drivers with a clear record may apply for a driver's license. Depending on the type of suspension, they may be required to take the vision, knowledge and road-skills tests before getting a new driver's license.
All offices are open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. except on Wednesday when all offices are closed for training from 8:30-9:30 a.m. The six Saturday offices are open from 8:30 a.m.- 1 p.m.
