If you
drive carelessly, if you disobey Oklahoma traffic laws,
or for any other reason you are not driving safely, you
may be required to appear for a Driver Improvement
hearing.
Probationary License
Under Oklahoma traffic laws, a license issued to drivers
under 18 is considered probationary: You are on a trial
period to show you can drive safely and legally. The
Department of Public Safety can, at its option, cancel or
suspend your license for any moving traffic violation.
Revocation of License
Oklahoma driving law requires that the driving privilege
be revoked (withdrawn) for six months to three years for
a conviction of any of the following violations of
Oklahoma traffic laws:
1. Driving or being in actual physical control of a
motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicants.
(No additional suspension will be made if the driving
privilege has already been revoked under the Implied
Consent Law for the same incident.)
2. Any felony in which a motor vehicle is used.
3. Failure to stop and render aid if you are a driver
involved in a collision resulting in death or personal
injury (leaving the scene of a collision/hit-and-run).
4. Perjury or making a false statement under oath to
obtain a license or for any other legal matter relating
to the ownership or operation of a motor vehicle.
5. If under age 21, driving or being in actual physical
control of a motor vehicle with any measurable quantity
of alcohol.
Point Reduction
Under Oklahoma driving law, two (2) points are deducted
for each 12-month period in which there are no
convictions of any point able violations of Oklahoma
traffic law. Points are reduced to zero if there are no
traffic violation convictions for three consecutive
years.
Two (2) points are deducted for successful completion of
a DPS-approved Driver Improvement or Defensive Driving
Course. Under Oklahoma driving law, credit for completing
the course can be given once every 24 months. The point
total can't go below zero.
