Drunk driving is taken very seriously in the state of Oklahoma and a lawyer or attorney should be contacted if you are charged or arrested anywhere in Oklahoma for a DUI or DWI.

The following should not be taken as legal advice, this is only a brief reference to the Oklahoma laws governing DUI and DWI.

Oklahoma operates under what is called “implied consent law” which means that if you are pulled over for a DUI you agree to a breath, blood or chemical test to determine if you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

If you do not agree with taking one of more of these tests, the police officer may seize your driver’s license and you will be scheduled to appear in court for a hearing.
