Automobiles

An automobile is a vehicle that moves on four wheels and is one of our primary methods of transportation. Automobiles are also known as cars or vehicles. Trucks, sport utility vehicles (SUV), and minivans are different types of automobiles, and are sometimes referred to as cars, vehicles, or motor vehicles.

Automobiles are usually powered by an internal combustion engine using gasoline or diesel fuel, or by one or more electric motors, using energy stored in one or more rechargeable batteries.

In Oklahoma, automobiles, which include cars, trucks, SUVs, and minivans, are primarily regulated by the Oklahoma Vehicle License and Registration Act under Title 47 of the Oklahoma Statutes. This act outlines the requirements for vehicle registration, titling, and the issuance of license plates. Additionally, the Oklahoma Motor Vehicle Commission is responsible for the enforcement of laws related to the distribution and sale of motor vehicles. Automobiles must adhere to safety and emissions standards as per state and federal regulations. Oklahoma also has specific laws governing the operation of vehicles on public roads, including traffic laws, insurance requirements, and DUI regulations. Vehicles powered by internal combustion engines must comply with the state's emissions standards, while electric vehicles, which are becoming more prevalent, are subject to different regulations regarding charging infrastructure and may benefit from certain incentives.
