MUST REQUEST HEARING IN WRITING WITHIN 10 DAYS OFARREST TO STAY SUSPENSION!!

A person who refuses to blow (or refuses to give a blood sample) or who blows .15 or higher has the right to a hearing before a hearing officer on the issues of whether or not certain procedural safeguards were followed by the police officers if the hearing is requested within 10 days of the arrest. If the person requests a hearing within 10 days, the person has the right to drive pending the requested hearing on a temporary/alcohol restricted license. If the hearing is not requested, or the hearing officer upholds the administrative license suspension, the person may be entitled to a work or education restricted license.

If your DUI/DWI arrest was in a state other than South Carolina, your license also may be at risk. To learn more about protecting your license if your arrest was not in South Carolina, visit our national map of DUI/DWI attorneys to locate a drunk driving defense lawyer in your state.
