Do You Know How to Get an Oklahoma DUI?

February 5, 2018 by Editorial Staff

Oklahoma DUIOklahoma DUI laws are strict to help fight against the drunk driving epidemic that is sweeping this nation. If you’re caught driving while intoxicated in Oklahoma, you can guarantee that you will feel the burden of a DUI conviction. If your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is at or above .08 percent,  you will face Oklahoma DUI charges.

Technically, you can face Oklahoma DUI charges even if your BAC is lower than the legal limit, just because you are a danger on the road with ANY amount of alcohol or intoxicating substance in your system.

Oklahoma is a true zero-tolerance state when it comes to underage drinking and driving. This means that you cannot have a BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) over zero or you will be charged with a DUI. Many people don’t realize that some medications even have enough alcohol in them to show up on a breathalyzer, so if you’re underage, you really need to be careful.

CDL drivers are also subject to stricter BAC requirements. If you’re driving with your CDL, you can’t have a BAC of .04% or over or you will not only lose your license but your career. Beyond the standard .08% BAC that will get you charged with a DUI nationwide, you can be charged with an Oklahoma DUI with a lower BAC if you’re exhibiting signs of intoxication such as driving erratically, excessive speed, or causing an accident. You can receive stricter punishments if your BAC is over .15% resulting in the charge of an aggravated DUI.

If you are charged with an Oklahoma DUI, you need to take the proper steps to get back on a better road. That includes facing a judge in court, fulfilling all legal requirements, and using your new ignition interlock device as required by the state. We all make mistakes, so let’s all do our part and learn from our mistakes before someone gets seriously hurt.
