Frequently Asked Questions

How do I pay a Uniform Traffic Ticket? 

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.

How do I obtain evidence for a traffic ticket?

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. 

I lost my mandatory insurance verification form (FR-10). How do I obtain a copy?

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

 

I was in an accident. How do I get a collision report?

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. Fine more information about obtaining a collision report here. 

What can I expect from a traffic stop?

I was involved in a collision that was not investigated by law enforcement. What do I need to do?

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. 

My car was towed, how do I find out where it was towed?

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.

How do I obtain wrecker regulations and apply for the rotation?

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.

How do I request a safety presentation from a state trooper?

The South Carolina Highway Patrol offers community outreach and education programs to help address unsafe driving behaviors before they occur. SCHP’s Community Relations Officers conduct 900 safety presentations on average each year to schools, civic organizations, and companies around the state. 

SC Highway Patrol offers several types of programs to educate the public on the dangers of impaired driving, driving distracted, and speeding, as well as the importance of wearing a seat belt and staying alert behind the wheel. You can read more about these community outreach programs and request a safety talk here.
