traffic courts

Traffic courts (also known as municipal courts) are generally courts that are dedicated to prosecuting and resolving tickets or citations for traffic, parking, driver’s license, liability insurance, defective equipment (headlights, brake lights, turning lights, etc.), and license plate violations. These are usually lower level misdemeanor offenses (as opposed to felony offenses).

In Oklahoma, traffic courts, often referred to as municipal courts, handle a variety of non-felony traffic-related offenses. These courts deal with infractions such as speeding, running a red light, parking violations, driving without a valid driver's license, failure to carry liability insurance, and equipment violations like malfunctioning lights. The offenses typically addressed in these courts are considered misdemeanors rather than felonies. The process involves citation issuance by law enforcement, after which the cited individual may need to appear in court on a specified date. Depending on the violation, penalties can range from fines to points on the driver's license, and in some cases, may include jail time. Repeat offenses or more serious violations can result in harsher penalties. It's important for individuals facing traffic violations in Oklahoma to understand their rights and, if necessary, consult with an attorney to navigate the legal process effectively.
