What could happen if you are at fault in an accident and do not have any liability insurance?

When you are at fault in an accident and do not have liability insurance, one of the consequences you can face is the suspension of your license and/or vehicle registration. In South Carolina, the law requires all drivers to maintain liability insurance to cover damages that may occur in an accident they cause. If you are found to be at fault without insurance, the state takes this seriously, resulting in penalties that often include the suspension of your driving privileges and the registration of your vehicle. This measure is designed to encourage responsible driving habits and ensure that all drivers can cover the costs associated with accidents they may cause.

The other options do not align with the relevant laws and consequences. Vehicle registration renewal would not occur without valid insurance, and while a fine may be imposed in some situations, it is more significant to point out that losing your driving privileges is a direct and immediate consequence of lacking insurance during an accident.
