Legal Question in DUI Law in South Carolina

dui charge for 3 years ago

my husband was charged with dui in june of 2003. all fines were paid when he went to sign up for adsap he was told that there was no record of a dui and no use doing the program. I have the paper where he blew a .08 on the alchol test and then the legal was .10. It is now November of 2006 and he recieved a letter that he will now lose his liscense for 6 months and have to go threw adsap and carry SR22. After 3 and a half years later do they have the right to do that. What he blew on the test was not even over the legal limit. please let me know what we can do about this. Thank You

Re: dui charge for 3 years ago

Unfortunately the flow of information from one state agency to another and the whole record keeping system in South Carolina is quite lacking. If he was convicted then yes, they can make him go through those requirements. Please understand however that he should be entitled to get a temporary drivers license once he has completed the necessary requirements. Good luck.
