DUI laws and DWI laws are different in every state; Oklahoma Driving Under the Influence laws are specific to Oklahoma. You can be charged with driving under the influence if you are on any public roadway or private property that provides access to a home or multi-family dwelling. Basically, that means you can be charged a DUI if you in your driveway.

The Oklahoma laws dictate that a DUI can be charged for many reasons. The first factor is your blood alcohol level. If you have a blood or breath alcohol concentration of eight-hundredths (.08) or more at the time of being tested (needs to be within two (2) hours after the arrest of such person. A DUI charge can come from a police officer that observes you noticabley under the influence of alcohol. 

While defining Driving under the influence, keep in mind that "under the influence" does not automatically imply that you are driving while intoxicated on alchol. It can also be applicable to anyone under the combined influence of ANY intoxicating substance other than alcohol which makes a person incapable of safely driving or operating a car, truck, motorcycle or other type of motor vehicle.
