The Oklahoma Ignition Interlock Program
The legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limit in Oklahoma is .08 percent. Offenders found to have a BAC at or above that limit risk these penalties, which include license revocation or suspension. Some offenders may be able to regain their driving privileges if they install an ignition interlock device (IID) from an approved provider.Oklahoma now operates a compliance-based interlock program. This means that you may be required to keep your interlock installed for longer if you have violations including testing failures. If anyone required to have an interlock withdraws from the program, their driving privileges will be immediately revoked.
