Yeargin v. South Carolina Department of Highways & Public Transportation

This is an appeal from an order of the circuit court requiring appellant (the Department) to reinstate respondent’s driver’s license. We reverse.

Respondent’s South Carolina driver’s license was suspended until February 15, 1995, because of three convictions for driving under the influence (DUI) and five convictions for driving under suspension (DUS). After a hearing on respondent’s request for reinstatement of his driver’s license, the circuit court ordered that the Department reinstate respondent’s license upon proper examination required for all driver’s license applicants in South Carolina.
