However, if you’re caught driving with a suspended license in Oklahoma, you could face serious penalties.
Reasons for Suspension
You may find your driver’s license suspended for a number of reasons.
Some offenses or crimes can result in automatic suspension, and include driving under the influence, lying on a DMV form, causing bodily harm to another person after failing to stop at a stop sign or light, or failing to pay for gas.
Several other offenses may also lead to suspension, although not automatically. (Ok. Stat. Tit. 47 Sec. 6-205)
