How to Check Points on Drivers License
The list below outlines how many Oklahoma drivers license points will be assessed for various traffic violations. This information is derived from the administrative code of the Department of Public Safety (Title 595, Chapter 10, Appendix A).
Accumulation of 10 or more points in a five year period results in a suspension from one month to a year, depending on a driver’s history with the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety.
