South Carolina H3152 makes it illegal to operate a motor vehicle without a functioning speedometer and sets a penalty for violations.

South Carolina H3152 amends the state code to mandate that all motor vehicles on highways must have a functioning speedometer. It establishes the offense of "Improper Equipment - Speedometer" for violations, with a fine of up to twenty-five dollars. The bill also provides a defense for drivers charged with operating a vehicle twenty miles per hour or less over the speed limit if they can prove their speedometer was not working at the time of the offense.
