Driving Points System in Oklahoma
KANIA LAW OFFICE is a Tulsa, Oklahoma Law Firm

When a person is ticketed with a traffic offense in Oklahoma, it has further reaching implications and consequences than a simple fine.  The Oklahoma Department of Public Safety maintains your driving record and compiles "points" from driving incidents and citations.  Each offense has a point value and if too many points are accumulated within a given time frame your driving "privilege" (license) can be suspended. If you have been ticketed for a traffic offense in Oklahoma call the Tulsa Oklahoma traffic ticket lawyers at the Kania Law Office.
