How did I get a Notice of Violation?
State law authorizes the use of cameras and other technologies to capture and identify violators of the stop-arm laws. A school bus in an area you were driving in captured video footage of you passing a school bus while the stop arm was extended.
How do I satisfy my Notice of Violation?
You received a Notice of Violation because this was your first or second violation of the stop arm law. Because of your clear driving record, your infraction qualifies for the BSEA Diversion program, where the infraction will not appear on your driving record, will not affect your insurance rates, and will not suspend your driver's license. To satisfy your Notice of Violation, you simply must pay your amount due on or before your due date. This may be completed by mailing payment to PO Box 1183, Enid, OK 73702 or paying online by clicking on "RESOLVE NOTICE" above.
What happens if I do not pay my fine before my due date?
If you choose not to take part in the BSEA Diversion program, the evidence for your case will be sent to the courts for your jurisdiction (either the Municipal or State Court) and a criminal case will be filed against you. At that time, your fine will be assessed by the Court, up to $560, your license may be suspended by the State of Oklahoma. for one year (in which case you will owe reinstatement fees of $310), points will be added to your driving record, and your insurance rates will likely increase.
Can I appeal this Notice of Violation?
While there is not an active criminal case filed with the courts, your violation has been reviewed by a prosecuting attorney who has determined there is sufficient evidence for a case to be brought against you. If you were not the driver of your vehicle at the time of the violation, you may complete and return the "Challenge Form" on the second page of your Notice of Violation to the BSEA at PO box 1183, Enid, OK 73702. You may also submit your Challenge Form or other information relating to your Notice of Violation via email to enforcement@bseaok.org. At that time, a BSEA investigator will be assigned to your case and will determine who violated the school bus stop-arm infraction and submit that evidence to the Court.
