Repeat Offenders
The laws in South Carolina have gotten stricter for repeat or felony drunk drivers. One particular regulation now involves the method in determining whether a driver is a repeat offender or not. This is determined by looking back 10 years at the driver's DUI conviction records. If a record exists, that driver will be considered a repeat offender. In addition, repeat offenders are now required to install an ignition interlock device at their own expense if they want to get a license to drive to work.
