  • Travis A. Newton P.A. Penalties for 1st Offense DUI in South Carolina

    Travis A. Newton P.A. Penalties for 1st Offense DUI in South Carolina
    May 22 2023
    It is unlawful for a person to drive a motor vehicle within the State of South Carolina while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, a combination of alcohol and drugs, or substances that cause impairment to the extent that the person's faculties to drive a motor vehicle are materially and appreciably impaired. A conviction for driving under the influence includes penalties from the State of South Carolina, The South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (SCDMV), and can have a negative impact on professional and educational opportunities long after sentencing and DMV penalties have expired. Now more than ever it is important to view legal advice coming from non-lawyers on the internet or social media with skepticism. Unreliable legal advice from non-lawyers can have a negative impact on a DUI case from both a procedural and substantive standpoint. A consultation with Anderson, SC DUI Lawyer Travis Newton can provide answers that lead to informed decisions on how to proceed.

    It is not uncommon for a motorist whose faculties are not materially and appreciably impaired to exhibit the same clues police use to identify impaired drivers. The physiological response to being pulled over by police often activates the sympathetic nervous system triggering acute stress responses that mimic signs of impairment. The experiments used in the development of standardized field sobriety tests were performed in a lab omitting the fear of life-altering penalties as a consequence of failure. If driving privileges are suspended for refusing to submit a breath, blood, or urine sample for chemical testing or for registering an alcohol concentration of .15 or higher there are important filing deadlines that if missed will disqualify eligibility for the temporary restoration of driving privileges pending the result of a contested case hearing in the South Carolina Administrative Law Court. To learn more about the flawed science behind standardized field sobriety tests call Anderson DUI Attorney Travis Newton for a free consultation.

    It is not uncommon for a sober motorist to exhibit many of the same clues police use to identify impaired drivers during a routine traffic stop. The procedures used in the administration of standardized field sobriety tests were developed in a lab omitting the fear of instant incarceration as a consequence of failure. The physiological response to being pulled over by police often activates the sympathetic nervous system triggering acute stress responses that mimic signs of impairment. If driving privileges are suspended for refusing to submit a breath sample for chemical testing or for registering a minimum alcohol concentration of .15 there are important filing deadlines that if missed will disqualify eligibility for the temporary restoration of driving privileges pending a contested case hearing in the South Carolina Administrative Law Court.

    Travis Newton and the staff at Travis Newton Law P.A. keep clients informed of important legal deadlines, court venue changes, and matters concerning the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles.
