There are very few places left where a person can legally drive drunk anywhere. In fact, you do not even need to be actually driving a vehicle to be charged with a DUI in Oklahoma. You simply need to be intoxicated and "in control" of that vehicle. This would include sitting in the driver’s seat of a car or truck with the keys in the ignition. This means that technically, you could be arrested in your own driveway, even if you do not have your vehicle started.
There are three different field sobriety tests which the alleged offender will be given in order to determine whether he or she has in fact been driving under the influence: the horizontal gaze test, the walk and turn, and the one leg stand test. Failure of one or more of these tests can result in an arrest.
Some common scenarios where DUI arrests may occur on private property:
- Bar parking lots
- Convenience store parking lots
- Stadium parking lots
- Dirt roads used for ATV and motorcycle riding
- Golf courses
