How Driver Points Work in Oklahoma
How the Oklahoma point system works, points for speeding, how long points last, and whether traffic school helps.
Short answer: Yes. Points are added to the driving record for convictions of certain violations, mostly traffic offenses. Service Oklahoma, Violations, Suspensions & Reinstatements FAQ; 47 O.S. § 6-206
| Point system | Yes. Points are added to the driving record for convictions of certain violations, mostly traffic offenses. When the point total reaches 10 or more within a five-year period, the license is suspended: one month for a first point suspension, three months for a second, six months for a third, and twelve months for a fourth or later one. |
|---|---|
| Points for speeding | Per Service Oklahoma's Violation Code Book: 11-14, 15, 16-20 and 21-25 mph over the limit = 2 points; 26-30, 31-35 and 36-40 mph over = 3 points; 41+ mph over = 4 points. Speeding 1-10 mph over is coded with 2 points but appears only on the record of a commercial (CMV/CDL) driver, not on a regular class D driver's record unless it occurred in a commercial vehicle. |
| How long points last | Two points are removed after 12 consecutive months with no pointable conviction, and the point total drops to zero after three consecutive years with no pointable conviction. A standard requested driving record shows up to three years of history. |
| Traffic school | Completing an approved six-hour Driver Improvement / Defensive Driving course removes 2 points from the driving record, but this reduction is given only once in a 24-month period. Employer motor vehicle accident prevention courses do not qualify for point reduction. The official pages read describe point reduction only, not ticket dismissal. |
