For CDL holders, traffic points are not just inconvenient. They are career-threatening.
Service Oklahoma utilizes a Mandatory Point System to track and penalize serial traffic offenders across the state. While accumulating ten points within a five-year period results in a standard license suspension for everyday drivers, CDL holders face accelerated administrative disqualifications for committing specific "serious traffic offenses". Such offenses include excessive speeding (defined as driving 15 mph or more over the posted speed limit), reckless driving, and following another vehicle too closely. If a CDL holder receives two convictions for serious traffic offenses within a three-year period, their CDL is administratively disqualified for 60 days. A third conviction within that exact same three-year window triggers a severe 120-day disqualification, which must be served consecutively to any other active suspensions.
Committing two "Serious Traffic Violations" within a three-year period results in a mandatory 60-day CDL disqualification. Three serious violations within a three-year period results in a 120-day disqualification. Major violations involving railroad crossings or out-of-service orders carry independent disqualification periods ranging from 60 days to 3 years.
We fight every traffic citation that could add points or trigger CDL disqualification. Defense strategies include challenging the officer's speed measurement methods, questioning the calibration of radar and lidar devices, negotiating for reduced charges that carry fewer or no points, and pursuing deferred sentences that avoid conviction.
