Oklahoma drivers ed guide
In Oklahoma, licensing is handled by Service Oklahoma. A teen who enrolls in an approved school, public school or parent-taught course can hold a permit at 15 rather than 16, while drivers 18 and up may test with no course at all. Finishing an approved 6-hour defensive driving class removes 2 points from your record, usable once per 24 months, and a few city courts run separate driving school programs that can dismiss a ticket.
