How can I find out how many points I have on my license for a traffic ticket?

If you have received a traffic ticket in South Carolina, the best way to find out how many points you have on your license is to check your DMV driving record. This can be done online through the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles website. You will be asked to provide your driver’s license number and the last four digits of your Social Security number. Once you have provided the information, you will be able to view your driving record. Points will be listed on your driving record under the heading “Liability and Point System”. There are two columns – one for “Point Assigned” and one for “Violation Code”. Violation codes are the codes assigned to each type of traffic violation (speeding, running a red light, etc.). Each code is assigned a certain amount of points. The “Point Assigned” column will indicate the total number of points you have accumulated on your license as a result of the traffic violation. It is important to note that points remain on your license for a certain amount of time and if you accumulate too many points over a certain period of time, your license may be suspended or revoked. It is best to be aware of the points you have accumulated so that you can be mindful of your driving habits.
