Oklahoma Traffic Law and Coal County
Oklahoma's point system applies to all traffic convictions in Coal County District Court. The Department of Public Safety adds points to your driving record for each conviction. Reaching 10 points in a five-year window can lead to license suspension. The number of points depends on the type of violation. Reckless driving and failing to stop for a school bus each add 4 points. At-fault accidents and improper passing add 3 points. Careless driving, running a stop sign or light, and failure to yield add 2 points each. Failure to signal adds 1 point.
Speeding violations in Coal County follow the same statewide point schedule. Going 11 to 25 mph over the limit adds 2 points. Going 26 to 40 over adds 3 points. Going 41 or more over adds 4 points. Driving 10 mph or less over the limit results in a fine but no points on your record. Fines are doubled in active construction zones and school zones under state law. The defensive driving course option removes 2 points and can be used once every 24 months. Certain violations, including DUI, no insurance, eluding police, and illegally passing a school bus, trigger automatic license suspension by DPS regardless of your point total.
