South Carolina Crackdown on Reckless Driving | Columbia News

South Carolina’s Highway Patrol is hitting the roads hard this Labor Day weekend with a massive crackdown on reckless driving, teaming up with local cops to tackle holiday traffic and prevent repeat tragedies after eight deadly crashes last year. Troopers are urging everyone to avoid impaired driving — it’s often good people making bad choices — and remind drivers that South Carolina’s hands-free law is now one year old: holding your phone while driving? That’s illegal, with fines starting at $100 and doubling for repeat offenses plus license points. Stay sober, stay alert, and keep those hands free.
