Q: Please tell me what the sanctions are for violating Oklahoma StatutesTitle 47. §47-12-203, §6-101(a), §1151(A)(5)?
A:
Here is a summary of the sanctions for violating the Oklahoma traffic statutes you referenced:
§47-12-203 - Operation of vehicles without required equipment or in unsafe condition
- Misdemeanor punishable by fine of $10-100 for operating a vehicle without the required lights and reflectors or in an unsafe condition.
§6-101(a) - Drivers must be licensed
- Misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $50-300 and/or imprisonment up to 30 days for driving without a valid license. Fines and jail time increase for repeat offenses.
§1151(A)(5) - Reckless driving
- Misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for 5-90 days and/or a fine of $100-500, or both for first conviction.
- Subsequent convictions within 1 year carry 10 days to 6 months imprisonment and/or fines of $150-1000.
So in summary, these statutes cover improper vehicle equipment, driving without a license, and reckless driving. The sanctions range from fines to potential jail time, with repeat offenses generally resulting in increased penalties. The specific punishment would depend on the details and circumstances of the individual case.
