Frequently Asked Questions
-
Stay Calm: While a DUI is serious, it can be managed without major disruption to your life if handled correctly.
Address Your Driver’s License: You have 30 days to take action and three options to consider:
IDAP Program: Install an Interlock device in your vehicle, complete an ADSAC evaluation, DUI school, and victim impact panel.
Challenge the Suspension: File a petition questioning the validity of the license suspension, including the officer’s probable cause and the administration of sobriety tests.
Accept Suspension: Allow your license to be suspended (6 months for the first offense, 1 year for the second). To reinstate, complete another ADSAC evaluation and follow its recommendations.
Remember, this affects your case with the Department of Public Safety, not the criminal prosecution.
Handle the Criminal Case: The prosecutor will try to impose penalties for the DUI. Most cases end in plea agreements negotiated by your attorney, but some may go to trial.
At HCH, many DUI cases result in dismissals or deferred sentences, making them eligible for expungement—like it never happened.
-
Your first DUI is typically a misdemeanor unless it involves an accident with injuries. A DUI becomes a felony if:
You’re involved in an accident causing injury.
You have a prior DUI conviction within the past 10 years, starting from the end of your probation.
For example, if you received a DUI in 2021 with a 1-year deferred sentence, a subsequent DUI would be considered a felony until 2032.
-
In Oklahoma, police can request a breathalyzer or blood test if they have probable cause to believe you’ve been drinking and driving. If you refuse:
License Suspension: Your license will be suspended—6 months for the first offense, 1 year for the second.
Arrest: Refusal often leads to immediate arrest.
Blowing over a .08 results in a DUI charge and arrest.
