Driving under the influence occurs when a person operates a motor vehicle while their abilities are impaired by the consumption of alcohol or drugs to the extent they are unable to safely operate the motor vehicle. The crime can occur on the highways, streets or turnpikes of the state of Oklahoma, or in a public parking lot, which is defined as a parking lot dedicated to the public. A DUI defense lawyer in Oklahoma can help you navigate this.
