Oklahoma DUI and DWI Laws
Driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while impaired (DWI) in the state of Oklahoma comes with serious consequences. According to Oklahoma DUI laws, you are legally considered “intoxicated” when your blood alcohol content (BAC) is at 0.08%. Depending on the circumstances, you will face:
- Fines
- Jail time
- License suspension or even revocation
DUI vs. DWI
It all has to do with your BAC level. If your BAC is 0.08 or above and you are operating a motor vehicle, you are considered DUI. If you have alcohol in your system but your BAC is below 0.08, it is considered a DWI in Oklahoma. Learn more about Oklahoma’s DUI & DWI Laws.

Every DUI/DWI case is unique and the strength of your case will depend on your particular facts. However, your chances of successfully challenging a DUI/DWI are much greater if you hire an experienced DUI Lawyer.
Certain defenses or circumstances may entitle you to a suppression of evidence, dismissal of the charges or reduced charge or penalty.
