Anyone with a blood alcohol limit of .08 or higher is considered legally drunk in South Carolina. That means hopping behind the wheel after even just a few beers could get you a DUI.
Keep in mind that driving under the influence is a serious offense and it comes with major consequences. Here’s what you can expect after a first-time violation for driving under the influence:
- $400 in fines
- 2-30 days in jail
- 6-month license suspension
You’ll likely see an astronomical hike in your car insurance premium after a DUI. Luckily, you can find the lowest available rates on the car insurance you need with Jerry.
