If you have not had a moving violation in the past three years you should be eligible for what is called non-adjudication.

This provides that the violation is not subject to public view and is allowed under the following conditions: (1) that you possess a valid South Carolina license; (2) that you have had no conviction for a moving violation in this state or any other state within the last three years; (3) that you pay the applicable fine; (4) that you pay an extra service fee; and (5) that you attend a four-hour traffic safety violator course approved by the court

 

WHAT IS THE TRAFFIC EDUCATION PROGRAM (TEP)?

The Traffic Education Program (TEP) was established in South Carolina to educate drivers with minor traffic offenses, while giving them the opportunity to have eligible traffic tickets dismissed, and thereby keep their driving records clean. Upon successful completion of TEP, the individual will receive a non-criminal disposition from the Court and no official record of the traffic violation will be maintained, except by TEP to make sure that no person benefits from this program more than once.
