Amends South Carolina law to revise penalties for reckless driving and require defensive driving course completion for repeat offenders.

This bill amends South Carolina's reckless driving law by revising the penalty provisions. It specifies that a person convicted of reckless driving must pay a fine or serve a short jail term. For a second or subsequent offense within three years, the driver must complete a defensive driving course and provide proof of completion to the Department of Motor Vehicles within 60 days. Failure to do so results in a three-month license suspension. The act takes effect six months after the governor's approval.
