What about my Oklahoma Drivers License?

There is a way to get your Oklahom Drivers License back, but you must act IMMEDIATELY...

  • I only have 15 days from the date of your arrest to appeal your license suspension.
  • Your driving privileges continue for 30 days from the date of your arrest but the period for initiating your appeal is 15 days.
  • This is not the same as your court date. This is a completely separate hearing and a separate deadline.
  • The first step is to request a hearing with the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety. If that request is not received by the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety within 15 days of your DUI arrest, you will lose your drivers license and this revocation cannot be appealed.
  • The appeal is technical in nature and is based upon the Board of Test guidelines and procedures followed by the police. This requires an experienced BOARD CERTIFIED DUI LAWYER.
  • The Oklahoma Department of Public Safety does not give work or daytime drivers licenses. You either get it back completely or not at all.
  • You may be able to get a modification for driving, but this is AFTER your drivers license is suspended.
  • You are entitled to a hearing, even if your drivers license was suspended at the time of your DUI arrest.

 
Many Oklahoma DUI lawyers will tell you trying to get your driver's license back is a waste of time.

It is for them, because they do not know the procedures and policies to effectively fight for you or they just don’t care.

Think — If we appeal your drivers license suspension and lose, the worst that can happen is that your license will be suspended. THAT IS THE SAME THING THAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU DON’T FIGHT, so this appeal is actually a Freebie for you. ALSO, there are some important tactical advantages to having the drivers license hearing.

Also, DO NOT let an attorney “phone in” this hearing. He would do this, because he does not value your case enough to spend the time to physically appear in another court. Again, there are tactical reasons why your attorney should physically appear for this hearing.

Special problems attach if you have a Commercial Drivers License or a Pilots License.

DO NOT GIVE UP WITHOUT A FIGHT — Only good things can come from having this hearing.

THERE IS HOPE
