License Suspension

Vehicle Requirements for Interlocks

Administrative Suspension

DUI laws in Oklahoma state that a driver whose BAC is .08% or greater may be charged with DUI. If the driver fails a field breathalyzer test or refuses to take one, he or she will be subject to an immediate administrative license suspension.

The suspension will last for six months unless it is successfully challenged within 15 days of arrest.

To regain driving privileges during the suspension period, a driver must voluntarily install an interlock device in any vehicle that he or she will be driving.

Judicial Suspension

After conviction for DUI, an offender will be subject to an additional court-ordered license suspension of between 180 days and four years, depending on the driver’s conviction history. All offenders are also subject to jail terms and fines imposed by the court.
