Demerit Points - Oklahoma

The Mandatory Point System is a method by which the Department of Public Safety monitors your driving. Under Oklahoma driving law, you start with a clean record - no points. Each time you are convicted of a pointable violation of Oklahoma traffic laws, you are assessed one or more points on your driver's record. If you accumulate 10 or more points within five years, your license will be suspended.

Points can be reduced as discussed below.

In accordance with Oklahoma driving law, a driver convicted of these offenses, in any court, anywhere, having authority over these violations, will be assessed as follows:

Offense - Points

Violation of license restriction - 2
Reckless driving - 4
Careless driving - 2
Speed - 2
Speed in excess of 25 mph above posted limit - 3
Failure to stop or remain stopped for a school bus loading or unloading - 4
Following too close or improperly - 2
Failure to obey stop sign or traffic light - 2
Failure to yield right of way - 2
Left of center or wrong way on one way - 2
Operating a defective vehicle - 1
All other violations (excluding the violations requiring suspension or revocation action) - 1

Point Reduction

Under Oklahoma driving law, two (2) points are deducted for each 12-month period in which there are no convictions of any pointable violations of Oklahoma traffic law. Points are reduced to zero if there are no traffic violation convictions for three consecutive years.

Two (2) points are deducted for successful completion of a DPS-approved Driver Improvement or Defensive Driving Course. Under Oklahoma driving law, credit for completing the course can be given once every 24 months. The point total can't go below zero.
