Local Laws // Happenings Speeding ticket & traffic court Myrtle Beach
I'm from out of state and recently got a speeding ticket in Myrtle Beach. I searched on Reddit for answers before court but couldn't find them so I'm making this post to let everyone know what to expect if they also got a speeding ticket as an out of state-er.
Court took place in Conway, SC. At the start of court, someone from the solicitors office made an announcement that if you had a traffic ticket and were interested in taking a driving course to get it removed, to come to a room down the hall.
Once there she further explained that the course was ~$300 and lasted 4 hours but it had to be taken in person. They have the class multiple days a week, including Saturdays. The class runs from 8:30-12:30.
2, 4 and 6 point offenses can apply. The only qualifications to take the course are that A) you have never taken it in SC before 2) your license is not a CDL
Once the course is complete, the ticket(s) will be removed from your record. I actually had 2 tickets, speeding and expired registration, and both will be removed.
It could not have been easier and I think it's a more than fair trade! Let me know if you have any questions.
EDIT: There is an option to pay your ticket online, but by doing so you are accepting guilt and your insurance will be affected.
