Defending Out-of-State Motorcyclists and Drivers
On any given day along South Carolina's Grand Strand, out-of-state drivers make up a significant percentage of the local traffic. On certain weekends, such as during the Bike Week events in Myrtle Beach and Atlantic Beach, hundreds of thousands of visitors on motorcycles dominate the local highways. As a result, a significant number of traffic citations are issued to out-of-state drivers for alleged moving violations.
If you've been charged with a South Carolina traffic violation while visiting from out of state, contact a dependable defense attorney at the Monckton Law Firm in Myrtle Beach, and learn about your options for resolving the ticket.
Protecting out-of-state drivers' licenses from suspension in your home state
Many out-of-state drivers commit one of two common mistakes when cited for a moving violation on the Grand Strand: they pay the ticket, or they ignore it. Either way, chances are that you're needlessly exposing your home state driver's license to the risk of suspension and inviting your auto liability insurer to raise your insurance premiums drastically.
Our lawyers use their familiarity with the traffic enforcement practices and priorities in the various Horry County and Georgetown County municipalities to your benefit. Depending on the alleged violation and where it occurred, we can often negotiate a plea that will not expose your out-of-state driver's license to danger and that will not stimulate a hike in your insurance rates. We can also protect your interests if you've already returned home with an outstanding South Carolina traffic violation on your record.
Whether you've been cited for speeding, reckless driving, DUI, running a red light, or driving without proof of insurance, our attorneys can advise you about your options with the long-range protection of your license squarely in mind. For additional information about our ability to represent your interests effectively, contact the Monckton Law Firm for a free consultation here in Myrtle Beach or over the phone.
