To pay a Uniform Traffic Ticket, you must make a payment to the city or county in which the ticket was issued. You can learn more about the process, step-by-step at the South Carolina Court Payments webpage here.

If you are engaging in discovery for a criminal case written by a South Carolina Highway Patrol trooper (Rule 5/Brady motion), please serve the Trooper as shown on the Uniform Traffic Ticket at the appropriate Troop office. Read more information about this process here.

If you lost your FR10 (mandatory insurance verification form), please contact the appropriate troop office where the incident occurred.

If you are involved in a collision and wish to obtain a copy of the collision report (TR-310), you may request it through the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles. Find more information about obtaining a collision report here.

According to the South Carolina Code of Laws Section 56-5-1270, the driver or owner of a vehicle which is in any manner involved in an accident that is not investigated by law enforcement that results in total property damages of one thousand dollars or more or in death or bodily injury, shall complete a Traffic Collision Report Form FR-309 and send the form to the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles within 15 days of the collision. 

You can obtain the Traffic Collision Report Form FR-309 on SCDMV's website here.

If your vehicle was towed by an SCDPS Officer (Highway Patrol, State Transport Police or Bureau of Protective Services), you may contact the local Highway Patrol office where your vehicle was towed. However, please understand they may have to call the appropriate Telecommunications Center (TCC) to find this information. If your vehicle was towed by another law enforcement agency, we will not have this information.

Troopers of the Highway Patrol of the Department of Public Safety must frequently call upon a wrecker service to tow or remove abandoned, damaged, disabled, or wrecked motor vehicles from the highways of the state and accident scenes. Accordingly, to ensure a fair, equitable and impartial rotation among competing wrecker services, each Highway Patrol Troop within the Highway Patrol Division establishes a zone or zones for towing certain damaged, disabled, or wrecked motor vehicles from the highways and accident scenes, and must prepare, maintain and use wrecker rotation lists for each towing zone in accordance with applicable law. Further, to ensure the delivery of quality and courteous wrecker services to the motoring public at reasonable costs, it is the policy of the department to enforce the law, regulations, and standards relating to wrecker services by means of fair and equitable disciplinary procedures and, when necessary for enforcement purposes or to protect the public, by administering appropriate disciplinary measures.

S.C. Regulations 38-600, Wrecker Regulations, outlines the protocol for wrecker services as it relates to rates, wrecker classes, inspections, storage and complaint procedures.
