Frequently Asked Questions in Oklahoma DUI Cases

1. Will I be able to get my case dismissed because I was not read my rights?

   Probably not. But if you were interrogated after being placed in custody, your statements can not be used against you.

2. Will I go to jail?

   An experienced attorney may be able to keep you out.

3. I had two alcohol offenses when I was younger. What will happen to my license if I have a third conviction?

   If each of these were within five (5) years of the others, your license will be automatically revoked for three (3) years. Longer revocation can be imposed only if the previous offenses were within this five (5) year "look-back" period.

4. I have three serious offenses within seven years, what will become of my license?

   It COULD be (automatically) revoked for three (3) years.

5. How many hours of alcohol classes will I have to take?

   If your license is revoked for this offense, plan on at least 10 hours if it is your first offense. For more than one offense, plan on 24 hours or more.

6. What will happen if I do not complete the classes or community service ordered by the Court?

   You will go to jail.

7. I lost my Oklahoma license. May I obtain a license in another state.

   In most cases, no.

8. If I obtain an international driver's license, may I drive in Oklahoma, even though my Oklahoma license is revoked?

   No.

9. Am I a bad person, because I was arrested for DUI?

   No, but you are well advised never, never smell like alcohol while behind the wheel.

10. What if I burped within fifteen (15) minutes of blowing?

    The breath machine may have read alcohol from your stomach rather than you lungs. The result may be incorrect. A similar problem occurs with dentures.
