Service members and their families will want to understand state laws before moving to a new state.
South Carolina requires you have sufficient liability insurance and a valid driver’s license to operate a vehicle. The term “vehicle” generally includes automobiles, motorcycles, vans, trailers and boats regularly parked or garaged overnight. Although, you are in the military, you may be required to register your vehicle in-state and obtain an in-state license within a few months of moving.

State and local laws regulate the operation of motor vehicles, and these laws can vary by location. Many states regulate the following:
State law requires that all children under 5 years of age be properly restrained in child seats. Some states also require younger, smaller children to sit in the back seat.
Motorcycles and their operators are subject to special laws. If you own and operate a motorcycle, you must comply with those laws.
Many States and local jurisdictions have strict laws regarding cell phone and other digital devices while driving. Visit the State Department of Motor Vehicles website. Play it safe and always use a “hands free” device if you must use a cell phone or other Protective Driving Assist (PDA) while driving.
