§ 18.202  RECKLESS DRIVING.
   Any person who drives a vehicle in such manner as to indicate a willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property, upon conviction, shall be guilty of reckless driving and of a violation of this section.
(S.C. Code § 56-5-2920)  (Prior Code, § 18.202)
§ 18.203  PROHIBITIONS.
   a.   The use of all unlicensed motor vehicles, including, but not limited to, three-wheelers, four- wheelers, mini-bikes, go-carts, trail-bikes and other unlicensed vehicles is hereby forbidden on the streets, roads or sidewalks within the corporate limits.
   b.   The use of such vehicles is hereby declared to be a nuisance.
   c.   All persons approaching traffic signals shall stay within the parallel lines and shall not change direction in the vicinity of the signal for the purpose of taking advantage of the green light facing in another direction.
(Prior Code, § 18.203)
Editor’s note:
   These prohibitions are declared to be nuisances in that they prevent the free circulation of traffic in, through and from the town; the use thereof endangers the health, safety and welfare of the general public and these conditions can be reduced by said prohibitions.
§ 18.204  CORNER CUTTING; DRIVING ACROSS PRIVATE PROPERTY TO MAKE TURNS.
   a.   It shall be unlawful for any person to drive a vehicle over any sidewalk area and through any driveway, parking lot or business entrance at any intersection, in making either a right or left turn, except for the purpose of coming to a complete stop to obtain or render some service or make a sale or purchase.
   b.   It is the intention of this section to prohibit “corner cutting” by driving a vehicle from one street into another across any sidewalk and/or driveway and/or through any driveway.
(Prior Code, § 18.204)
§ 18.205  STOP SIGNS.
   When stop signs are erected at the entrance to any intersection, every driver of a vehicle shall stop, before entering the intersection, except when directed to proceed by a law enforcement officer or traffic- control signal.
(Prior Code, § 18.205)
§ 18.206  ENTERING INTERSECTION OR MARKED CROSSWALKS.
   No driver shall enter an intersection or a marked crosswalk unless there is sufficient space on the other side of the intersection or crosswalk to accommodate said vehicle without obstructing the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians, notwithstanding any traffic-control signal indication to proceed.
(Prior Code, § 18.206)
§ 18.207  VEHICLES; BOARDING OR ALIGHTING FROM.
   No person shall board or alight from any vehicle while it is in motion.
(Prior Code, § 18.207)

   No person shall ride on any vehicle nor upon any portion thereof which is neither designated nor intended for the use of passengers.

(Prior Code, § 18.208)
