Moving Violations and Traffic Misdemeanors in the State of Oklahoma

Most drivers who commit traffic offenses do not consider themselves criminals, but the fact of the matter is that some of the moving violations that many believe are minor infractions are actually traffic misdemeanors in the state of Oklahoma and can result in a physical arrest. Speeding, for instance, is usually considered a moving violation, and while points can be incurred, most drivers are only issued a citation. If the speed is significant, however, or if the speed is combined with other traffic offenses, an OHP trooper of a Pittsburg County Sheriff's deputy can charge the driver with reckless driving, and make an in custody arrest.

Leaving the scene of an accident, or "hit and run," is another criminal offense that many drivers mistakenly believe is a non-criminal violation. If you strike another vehicle, property, or a person, you are obligated to stay on scene until the police arrive. Otherwise, you have committed a misdemeanor crime. If it is impossible to remain on scene, you are required by Oklahoma law to exchange information with the other driver.
