South Dakota has a zero-tolerance law for drivers under 21, meaning any detectable BAC (0.02% or higher) results in a 1-year license suspension for a first offense.
Accumulating 10 demerit points within a 1-year period triggers an automatic 30-day license suspension in South Dakota.
South Dakota drivers with an intermediate license cannot drive between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. unless traveling to/from work, school events, or with a licensed adult at least 21 years old.
