Tennessee’s default deadline for suing over a car accident injury is one year from the date of the crash. State officials counted an estimated 1,045 traffic deaths across Tennessee in 2025, and every one of those families is racing that same one-year clock.

Six points is the single steepest hit South Carolina hands out on a driver’s license. A school bus stop-arm ticket carries that same six points whether the fine attached to it is $500 or $25,000.

Georgia gives you seven business days to transfer a car’s title after buying it from another person, and the clock starts the moment you hand over payment.

SCDMV backs dozens of other rules with steep consequences, and many drivers only learn theirs after they’ve already arrived. These are the reasons South Carolinians get turned away at the DMV. Note:…
