The Oklahoma Driving Traffic Record Point System measures your driving. When a person is ticketed with a traffic offense in Oklahoma, it has far reaching implications and consequences beyond 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.
